SPRING PRICE DROP!
Bought this pair, reel and spare spool, for salt and my 10wt. Muskie pole. Then realized that I've never spey, salt and muskie fished at exactly the same time. So, now I use one set of reels for all. Getting really smart.
Here's what Amazon says:
Model: 4
Diameter: 4.50" Width: 1.50"
Weight: 7.95oz.
Rod: 10,11
Line: WF10 Capacity: 250yds 30#
Series IV is Litespeed re-loaded. For years an iconic ultra-large arbor reel, Litespeed has now been refined for even higher retrieve rate, improved ergonomics, easier line management and less mass. Everything that was achieved in Gen 3 LS has been pushed farther.
Narrower drag geometry has translated into a flatter spool surface for less knuckle dragging. A more aggressive drag knob has been made . . . well, more aggressive. Structural refinements such as the curved arbor have made a light reel even lighter, and this curved arbor (which we introduced in 1998) stores backing into a “diameter well” and keeps “working line” at a maximum radius to optimize everything we love about large arbor reels.
Most notably, the spool/stripping arm geometry that was introduced on the very earliest Litespeeds has been changed to make it consistent with our newer reels, which do a better job of preventing snags and line damage. Still a close second to a Force SL in trout sizes, the Litespeed is the reliable thoroughbred of the Lamson line.

Retail is 450, first 350 takes it. Winner can join me for a smallie/muskie float in MN, or on the Madison for trout. Let me know if you have questions!New Lamson Litespeed Series 4 #4 w/ Spare Spool 9 - 11 weight?? Muskie, Salt 5.-img_20190216_092424_1.jpg
