Lamson Litespeed Fly Reel Wild Child
The Litespeed. Just Not Like Any Other.
The Lamson Litespeed has earned its reputation the hard way — two decades on rivers, flats, and estuaries around the world, in the hands of anglers who refuse to compromise on weight or performance. It remains one of the lightest full-drag fly reels ever made, and the engineering behind it is as relevant today as the day it launched.
The Wild Child is a limited-run colour scheme that is exactly what the name suggests. Lamson pushed their anodizing process to its limits — bold base tones layered with splash anodizing that makes every reel genuinely one-of-a-kind. No two look exactly alike. If you've ever wanted a reel that performs like a workhorse but looks like it belongs in a gallery, this is it.
Built Tough
The Wild Child is available in both All-Water (F5+) and Saltwater (M8, M10) configurations — so whether you're chasing trout in the Central Highlands or hunting barra and GT on the flats, there's a size matched to your fishing. The large arbor design means fast line retrieval when it counts, and the sealed conical drag system handles everything from delicate dry fly presentations to hard-running saltwater species without complaint.
Why the Litespeed?
- One of the lightest full-drag reels in its class — less fatigue on long days
- Sealed conical drag — smooth from zero to maximum, no dead spots
- Large arbor for fast retrieve and reduced line memory
- Splash anodized finish — corrosion resistant and genuinely unique
- Machined from 6061-T6 aluminium — built to last a lifetime
- Limited run Wild Child colour scheme — not a permanent catalogue item
