Description
Liquid courage. Let us face it, die-cast reels are intended to be low-cost alternatives to machined reels, right? Imported. Heavier. Easier to damage. Plain Jane, well not anymore. When creating the Liquid Vapor Fly Reel, Waterworks Lamson focused purely on the virtues and advantages a pressure-cast process can offer. Structurally, you can do things with casting that you cannot machine: Full-radiused compound curves. Near zero-radius inside corners. And for a precision fit and finish, Waterworks Lamson even went back and machined the cast part in critical areas-amplifying the best aspects of both worlds. Waterworks Lamson pushed back on other boundaries as well. How much of a reel at this cost can be made in the US? Quite a lot, as it turns out. It is a good mix, too.
Waterworks Lamson Liquid Vapor Fly Reel’s high-quality castings are imported, but the components critical to the drag system are CNC-machined in the US. The Liquid Vapor Fly Reels are assembled in Boise alongside Waterworks Lamson’s highest-priced reels.
