Reel Question

OK, I have a question for you guys.
Have any of you used Lamson or Loop reels?
Lamson Guru
Loop Evotec G3

I am wanting to get info on both before I purchase one.
Thanks

I hear a lot fo reely good stuff about Lamson. I used one of ScottyD’s lamsons and it was smooth as silk and light enough to not interfere wiht the balance of the rod…

Far better it is to dare mighty things to win glorious triumphs even though checkered with failure, than to take ranks with those poor spirits who never enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

lamson’s have a great drag sys and a terrific cust support if u ever need em (doubt u will). the reels are super light and have stood up well to some hellacious treatment. i fish the old velocity and litespeeds (same drag). Loop is a great reel as well, but id lean towards Lamsons due mainly to the smooth start up of the drag and my past experiences. when i was reel shopping, they were the lightest reels i could find

Got 2 Konics, and they have stood up to bones, permit, smallies, trout, reds and so on, I love em. I aint got da cash to buy much more expensive than the Konic but they all have the same drag system and i talked with a fellow at Lamson and there is no plans to end the Konic production, they don’t look quite as nice, but you know the fish don’t complain, once i take da hook outta em! ha

If it swims throw a fly at it!

Another nod here for Lamson. I’ve got a Radius and a Velocity and I love 'em both.

I have a Litespeed on my 10wt and I like it, for what it’s worth.


Pillage and plunder with a 9wt and a fist full of clousers.
