It didn’t take long for Waterworks-Lamson to completely rejuvenate their Litespeed fly fishing reels. The Litespeed IV picks up where the Litespeed II left off, and with more emphasis on technology development from Waterworks-Lamson, the new Litespeed IV for 2014 has something to offer every angler, regardless of your experience level or the type of fish you are chasing. Here are just a few of the features that this reel can deliver:

Traditional Waterworks-Lamson large arbor fly fishing reel format has been refined to reduce the weight of the reel, and designed to keep backing out of the way so that you can use the full arbor and experience rapid retrieval rates, less kinking and consistent drag
Machined aluminum and stainless steel for strength and durability
Conical drag system with stainless steel zero-lash roller clutch to ensure seamless engagement of the drag system
Completely sealed housing and hard Alox anodized finish to protect the reel in any conditions
Revised spool, stripping arm geometry to minimize snags and line damage
This reel is certainly an improvement on previous Litespeed models, which were already of such a high quality that it really does make this reel difficult to believe. As well as the above features, the reel comes with the following:

Complimentary neoprene reel case for safety during transport and storage
Ultra-smooth design that will ensure you have the most attractive reel on the water
