Light-year. The distance traveled by light in a single year; the time it takes for design to evolve to a next step.
What can be said about larger but lighter, lighter but stronger? Of course it can be done. We’ve done it over and over again, but does there come a time when the bar can’t be raised?
No, there are always improvements to be made, new ways of thinking, new materials, and processes to exploit. As we’ve said – the performance benchmark for a fly reel is retrieve rate per ounce. If you haven’t thought about it before, think about it now: there’s no downside to high retrieve rate other than extra weight.
As an example, consider the 2021 Gen 6 Litespeed: CNC machined with material distributed artfully along critical load paths, stable and strong, so light you might forget it’s there, but beautiful enough to make you remember it is.
The art of the fly reel derives from the science of the fly reel, but at the end of the day both art and science, when held in balance, serve to make us smile.
LSF – The LSF is the freshwater version of the new Litespeed. The chassis is based on the conical system found in our other reels with the addition of a click stop drag knob and a unique spring set that creates a linear progression of torque with very fine resolution at the light end of its range. LSF spool and frame architecture is super-arbor in scale for high retrieve, but spare and open to promote line drying and, of course, reduce weight.
It was a passion for product design combined with a love for sport that formed the company. The Waterworks-Lamson is unique among fly fishing companies. They are not a machine shop selling reels, they are not a marketing company importing products from overseas. Their focus is exclusively on fly fishing products, The expertise and experience is in product design, and they are committed to the highest standards of domestic manufacturing.
Their products uniquely reflect the drive for superior design. For them this means they must embody true innovation and meaningful improvement. You won’t see The Waterworks marketing “just another fly reel” or a “me-too” accessory. If they can’t do it better, they won’t do it at all.
Making great products also requires a commitment to flawless manufacturing quality. From the Grade 5 titanium, the heat-treated 6020 aluminum alloy and the 544 bearing bronze they use in their reels, to the carbon thermo- composite they mold into the Ketchum Release, each material selection is made without a hint of compromise. The state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and processes they employ result in the highest possible standards of precision, finish and function. And, of course, they extend their commitment to quality by offering personal assistance to their dealers and their customers throughout the lifetime of the product.
