Lamson Remix S Series Fly Reel

The Remix S is the smart middle path: a CNC-machined bar-stock aluminum case for rigidity and a harder, brighter finish, paired with a pressure-cast spool that keeps the price honest. You get most of what makes machined reels great — at a price much closer to a cast reel. It's the natural step up from the Liquid S, and spools interchange between the two, so upgrading doesn't strand your spare lines.

Why we like it

• Machined case + cast spool — the best value-per-ounce in Lamson's lineup
• Sealed conical drag: smooth, maintenance-free, ice-day proof
• Larger arbor and diameter than first-gen Remix; bigger, grippier drag knob
• Spools compatible with Liquid S
• Available in Smoke and Day Break
