Used Lamson Vanquish 8 Fly Reel

This Lamson Vanquish reel is in mint condition.  There are no dings or dents and if the reel was used, it is hard to tell.  This beefy Lamson reel would make for an ideal saltwater, steelhead or salmon reel for an 8wt possibly a 9wt line.  It would also be a good reel and balance well with small spey rod. 

The reel is loaded with backing.  It also comes in it's original box and comes with a Lamson neoprene reel case. 

Vanquish:  As the name implies, we created the Vanquish reel with just one thing in mind – total victory. And as the “form follows function” zealots we are, it all starts with the world’s smoothest, and now much larger and more powerful drag system. Delivering twice the torque of our previous salt water design, the Waterworks conical drag generates no stickslip even at the line-snapping rates required by blue water anglers. To support this kind of torque, a new, much stiffer frame was created — one that transmits extreme loads with a simple, efficient and graceful structure.

Other innovative Vanquish features include: an integrated foot/frame which, while stronger than a traditional fastened-on foot, also raises the center of mass of the reel, improving casting ease and accuracy machined-from-solid, modular stainless stripping arm on V12 and V10 our proprietary Hard AloxTM finish, large, ergonomic, self lubricating no-slip handle, tandem roller clutch transmits higher torque and provides redundancy. Fully sealed, zero maintenance drag components.
