Lamson Liquid S Fly Reel

Designed to elevate everything anglers loved about the original Liquid, the Lamson Liquid S Fly Reel delivers increased strength, improved line management, and refined ergonomics at the approachable price point the Liquids are known for. Built using Lamson’s advanced pressure-cast construction, the Liquid S features larger diameters, a larger arbor, and a higher strength-to-weight ratio thanks to its pocket spar frame and spool design. Subtle but meaningful updates—like a redesigned arbor for cleaner spooling and a larger, more secure drag knob—make this reel easier and more confident to fish across a wide range of freshwater applications than ever before. Covering rod weights from light panfish setups to heavier rods used for steelhead and sodium-free striped bass, the Liquid S continues Lamson’s tradition of delivering dependable performance without unnecessary cost.

Design

Large Arbor Lightweight Design – The Liquid S utilizes a large arbor format to increase line pickup, reduce memory, and improve backing capacity. Lamson’s pocket spar frame and spool design maximize strength while minimizing weight, and the redesigned arbor shape promotes clean, even spooling during long retrieves and fast runs.

Finish

Polyurethane Coated Finish – Finished with a durable polyurethane coating on both the frame and spool, the Liquid S is built to resist everyday wear while maintaining a clean, modern look.

Materials

Pressure-Cast Aluminum Construction – The Liquid S is built from pressure-cast aluminum, allowing Lamson to achieve excellent structural rigidity with minimal excess material. The result is a reel that remains lightweight and strong, with a design optimized for balance, durability, and efficient line drying.

Drag

Sealed Conical Drag System – The Liquid S features Lamson’s sealed conical drag, delivering smooth, consistent pressure with low startup inertia. The updated, larger drag knob offers improved grip and fine adjustment, allowing anglers to dial in drag settings quickly and confidently on the water and in the heat of battle.

Materials – Sealed drag components protect internal parts from moisture and debris, ensuring reliable performance and reduced maintenance across a wide range of freshwater conditions.

Arbor Size

Large Arbor – The large arbor design improves retrieve speed, reduces line memory, and provides ample backing capacity for targeting strong, fast-moving fish.

Lamson Warranty – As of January 2026, Lamson's Liquid S  Reels are backed by a manufacturer’s warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear, misuse, or damage from improper maintenance are not covered, and Lamson reserves the right to repair or replace components at their own discretion.
