Made in USA usually means one thing - Quality all the way. The Speedster does just what it says - It is a speedster with super-high retrieve rate. The Speedster features a narrower spool, inboard mounted handle, and an outer diameter significantly larger than our highest performing reels. The narrow spool prevents line barreling, while the inboard handle and added circumference improve retrieve rate. Rev these features up with our classic Waterworks-Lamson styling and attention to detail—plus our time-tested, maintenance-free drag system—and you have what the name implies: a hotrod of a reel.

Backing capacity is for Dacron. Gelspun will be approx. double.
