The Lamson Velocity 3 (V3) is a high-performance fly fishing reel known for its lightweight design, durability, and smooth drag system. Here’s what you need to know if you’re considering the “Spool in Box” version:
Key Features of the Lamson Velocity 3 (V3):
1. CNM Machined Aluminum – Precision-machined for strength and corrosion resistance.
2. Sealed Carbon Drag – Smooth, consistent drag performance in all conditions.
3. Large Arbor Design – Faster line retrieval and reduced line memory.
4. Lightweight – Ideal for balancing modern fast-action fly rods.
5. Spool-in-Box Option – Some retailers sell the reel with an extra spool (included in the box), allowing for quick line changes (e.g., floating vs. sinking lines).
Spool-in-Box Details:
– If purchasing the “Spool in Box” version, you get an extra spool along with the reel.
– Useful for anglers who want to switch between different fly lines without re-spooling.
– Ensure compatibility with other Lamson reels (most Lamson spools are interchangeable within the same size).
Available Sizes:
The Velocity 3 comes in multiple sizes (e.g., 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5+) to match different rod weights (3wt to 8wt+).
Why Choose the Lamson V3?
– Great value for a fully machined reel.
– Reliable drag for freshwater and light saltwater use.
– Sleek, modern aesthetics.
If you’re looking for a durable, smooth, and lightweight reel, the Lamson Velocity 3 (with spare spool) is an excellent choice.
