The Lamson Litespeed has been a top selling reel since introduction long ago. Lamson has done a great job making sure that this gem of a reel has kept up with modern technology along the way. Introducing for 2014 is the generation IV edition litespeed. Following the trend of less is more concept the new Litespeed IV is lighter yet than the previous model. In the picture you can see the curved spool geometry for the backing storage. These reels really do spool backing better than traditional flat spools.

Notice the retrieve knob has been moved inward a small amount. This allows for a quicker retrieval rate. Not new to gen IV litespeed but if you look close you can see the counterbalance machined into the rim of the spool eliminating the need for an added weight attached to the reel.
