Price varies by reel size / design etc. Been eyeing a Lamson Liquid reel for a while, they are usually $90 but I got one for $75.

Must not be that big of a fly fisherman. Lamson waterworks makes some of the best reels and they are all made in Boise Idaho. Comparable sage and Orvis reels are much lower quality in every aspect and made overseas. These are lamsons lower end entry reels, but they use the same drag systems as their high end $600+ models.

Knowing myself, I'll save $100 on this reel to then spend $800 on a new outfit that I previously had no intention of buying. Not today, SD...not today.

Liquid 3 pack for 109 is a very good deal. I have one of these on my bass rod and it is a nice reel with a very functional drag. Even at full retail it's one of the best deals in fly fishing.

Pretty much all I use are Liquids, no problems whatsoever so far. Had to give a TU to a fly fishing thread.

Wow this is super tempting. I have an older Lamson Konic II but rarely ever use it or fish... I've been out of it for a bit. It's tempting to grab a set of these though! Are these all the die cast aluminum btw? I dropped the Konic II once (dohhh), dented the frame, and ended up having to send it back to Konic for repair - they ended up replacing it for me which was nice. But makes me feel iffy about using it especially as someone who can very easily 'abuse' gear in action...

Shipping looks to be free at $150+, I left some items in my cart and about an hour later they emailed me a free shipping code: freeship8VXZX8FV
I'm all set for now so feel free to use it if you need it.

Similar prices on Amazon. Some bad reviews. As a big fly fisherman, I'd recommend just spending the money $150(+) and get a solid reel/brand. You'll be much happier in the long run. Orvis and Sage make some decent entry-level reels.

I used to use a lot of Lamsons. They are fine for freshwater, but every single Larson seized or were unable to have spool removed for saltwater despite following care instructions. They would make you send it off for repair.

I switched to all tibor reeels (still have Lamsons) and they are vastly superior and can be beaten up and dunked in saltwater and still work.

Just don't buy these for saltwater.

Keep in mind these are cast aluminum and not machined. One drop of a cast aluminum reel and there's a much higher chance of permanently destroying the reel as opposed to machined. Just wanted to throw this in so you know what you're getting into if you do buy this.

Lamson are OK reels and this is a good deal for most. Most folks will never see their backing and a reel is just a thing to store your line in the spool. For small reels, I am now 3d printing them and they work fine for my bass and trout fishing. However, for bruisers like tarpons, large jack (incl. GTs), bones, permits and the alike a good reel is what matters. Plus, if you are fishing in saltwater, you might want to buy the best reel you can afford and only cry once. This is true for the name brand such as Tibor, Nautilus, Abel, Bauer, Islander, Charlton/Mako, Seamaster (Ross for some) in north America to Stenzel, Henschel, Marryatt, Hardy in western Europe, Megoff in Ukraine, Felty/predator, Shilton in south Africa, Hayden in Australia and Wellstone, Ampex in Japan. The market is quite changing though as some pretty decent reels are made in Korea and China (some do not respect copyrights), but they can definitely make really good reels that last. If you know what you are buying, you can also find some very good vintage reels that will last you a lifetime. I am a fly reel collector and also used to consult with the flyfishing industry. Tight lines and loops (never thought I would write this on SD!).

Edit: these reels are for light use. I do not recommend die cast reels that are then machined. I recommend buying reels that are machined from T6061 (at least) alumnimum bar stock. Lamson has a pretty good drag that is smooth and consistent across its settings because they use a unique conical drag design. I am impartial to cork draw bar systems but I have always been impressed by their drag. The rest is pretty much OK but not outstanding and those put for sale are not very sturdy. I like my reels to have a caged frame, no back holes and using type III anodizing if offered as a finish. I also like my reels to have no ball bearings for either the one way drive (I prefer dogs over clutch which means bearings) and bronze bushings. Now, I did convert most of my reels ball bearings to ceramic bearings but this comes at a cost matching the cost of those lamson reels alone for just a set of bearings. Bad bearings is the number one failure with fly reels.

You obviously do not know anything about flyfishing. I have been fishing the salt since 1995 and some have started this well before my time (Stu Apte, Flip Pallot, Lefty (Bernard) Kreh (I miss you buddy) and many others.
