Lamson Litespeed M Wild Child

Lamson Litespeed M Wild Child – a limited edition of the Litespeed M reel series, combining bold colors and splash anodization with a lightweight, large-arbor fly reel designed for demanding fishing. Wildly finished appearance meets the signature performance of the Litespeed: lightweight frame, large line capacity, and smooth operation. The anodization is designed to stand out while maintaining corrosion resistance and durability.

The Litespeed M utilizes a hybrid drag system developed from the Cobalt reels, offering a linearly increasing drag force for predictable and controllable adjustments. IPX8 waterproofing is pressure-tested to 30.5 meters (100 ft), and composite bearings are fitted with minimal tolerances to ensure smooth rotation. The marine construction features a stiffer frame without significant weight increase, and the knurled drag adjustment knob improves grip even with wet fingers.

Special features include a large-arbor reel that speeds up line retrieval and reduces line memory. The Delrin/Teflon drag cone provides smooth operation and subtle startup inertia, and the clicker-equipped adjustment offers precise feedback when fine-tuning the drag. The visually distinctive Wild Child anodization is executed to retain the corrosion resistance and longevity typical of the Litespeed. Manufactured and assembled in Idaho, USA.
