I had a look and handled the lamson reels read the brocher,nearly got talked dizy!! by the shop owner about how great they were.
They seemed brital/light and not a very good finish,i would be constantly worrying of it breaking.
Having said that i have never used one.
And i never will,not at that price for what it is.
Just my opinion

i have the same problem with my xflite i cant get the stated backing on it nowhere near in fact its not the first time ive had this its mince imagine going into a car showroom and the sales rep telling you the car had a sunroof the day you pick it up no sunroof youd not accept it what makes tackle manufacturers think theyre any different do they even check or just go with a certain width diameter spool must accept a certain amount of backing either that or theyre only using 6ibs mono  |

Just my opinion I've used an original lamson velocity for about 5 yrs without a bit of bother, the drag is excellent and the reel has taken a few knocks. The only downside to the reel it is slightly light for use on a 15fter. |
