Lamson ARX S-Line Switch and Spey Reels


New for 2019, Waterworks Lamson ARX S-Line

Lots of confusion over this new model compared to the original ARX Reel. It Looks like the same reel in a new finish. Well it mostly is just that. All the size dimensions remained the same and spools will interchange.


Fact is the reel really didn't need to physically change. It already has proven internals and great features for the spey angler.


ARX is a full frame reel. Very good feature for spey especially with nylon monofilament running lines. ARX also features a narrow frame area near bottom side of spool that allows for spool rim palming.

While ARX looks and feels lightweight it actually has some bulk for strength and balance weight.

A feature I really like on all Lamson reels is the machined into spool counterbalance weight. This feature really cleans up a reels look and helps minimize unnecessary, bolt on, parts.

Arx is a purpose-built premium spey and switch reel. Stealth pro­file and full-cage design prevents line from escaping or snagging on the reel. S-Line brings a new orange and champagne color scheme as well as refreshed styling. Manufactured in the U.S.A. and assembled in Boise, Idaho.

    Abel Spey and Switch Reel Review


    I like good fly gear. Although I often go without and make do with whatever I have and find ways to appreciate not always sound mechanics, because - well I got a good deal on it or someone gave it to me. Working for a fly shop is sometimes hard because of the pain involved with passing up all the goodies that people make and send to our shop. I can’t have it all, after-all – or even a fraction of the gear that comes through the shop. Like most people, I have learned to choose my battles and the bummer is, is that I am not victorious quite often enough when it comes to owning something new and cool. But, I can at the least try to savor the drool instead of resenting it and embrace the mere act of wiping it away from the corner of my mouth.
