   New HARD ALOX Finish     Lamson Reels In Action
Reel Handy!

The new Lamson Litespeed Hard Alox™ is a true large arbor reel with the same fully-sealed drag system that is used in the Waterworks ULA.   No water or dirt can get into the mechanism to effect drag control or pressure setting.  The unique drag system  consists of a pair of perfectly matched cones which are engaged under variable  

spring pressure. The drag is indescribably smooth and has a wide latitude of settings.  These reels are extremely lightweight and have very few moving parts. 
Litespeed Reels are machined in the U.S.A. from solid aluminum alloy bar stock.  The end result is a
very fine, high performance large arbor reel at a price that is comparable to many reels that are made off shore.  The large arbor Lamson Litespeed Hard Alox™ offers incredible value.  Litespeed reels are now offered in only one finish -- a proprietary combination of alloy selection and conversion coating that is called “Hard Alox”. The term Hard Alox is taken from the anodizing process itself, wherein the aluminum surface is converted to aluminum oxide. By increasing the coating thickness and reducing porosity, the Hard Alox coating is much more durable than any other reel.  Hard Alox trumps the conventional and ubiquitous Type 2 anodize, a finish which emphasizes gloss and color selection over durability.  In place of Type 2, Hard Alox enhances resistance to abrasion, impact and corrosion and a look that tells the story of beauty which, while not being just “skin deep”, actually does start there.

In order to to maintain structural rigidity each surface of the LiteSpeed
Hard Alox™ is curved.  This subtly complex shape is extremely demanding and expensive to machine, but results in a strong, light, and beautifully unique high-performance fly reel.  The effectiveness and durability of the Litespeed Series of reels has been thoroughly proven by our staff over the last 10-seasons.  This is one of the toughest and smoothest reels on the market today. 
Incremental improvements such as: improved seals, stainless steel bearings and Hard Alox™ finish have taken a superior design to a new level of good looks and dependability. 
If you bought a LiteSpeed 10 years ago, the spools and frames will interchange with newest Hard Alox™ reels. The bearings and seals can be upgraded to the newest standards at no charge. Now that is reel handy! We like 'em!
