Lamson Force SL II Fly Reel
Engineered to push the limits of lightweight reel performance beyond what the original Force Reel did, the Lamson Force SL II Fly Reel continues the evolution of one of the lightest fully machined fly reels ever produced. Built around the pursuit of maximizing retrieve rate while minimizing weight, Lamson's Force SL II features a refined super large arbor design, advanced CNC-machined structural engineering, and a sleek, modern profile. Designed and built in Idaho, the Force II Reel delivers exceptional strength, speed, and balance without unnecessary bulk, making it an ideal choice for anglers who demand premium performance in an ultra-light package. Made in sizes that accommodate rod weights 4 through 8, the Force SL II has an option whether you're casting bushy dry flies in a small alpine creek or working streamers for freshly-run salmon in Michigan.
Design
Super Large Arbor Lightweight Platform – The Force SL II is designed around Lamson’s philosophy of achieving the highest possible retrieve rate-to-weight ratio. Its enlarged arbor improves line pickup while reducing overall material weight, resulting in a reel that feels exceptionally light in hand without sacrificing strength. Refined CNC-machined shaping removes excess material while maintaining rigidity, creating a reel that's reliable for years of use with a look that's visually streamlined.
Finish
Hard Alox Protective Finish – Finished with Lamson’s durable Hard Alox coating, the Force SL II is built to resist corrosion, wear, and scratches while maintaining its refined appearance through heavy use in demanding environments for seasons to come.
Materials
Machined 6061 Aluminum Construction – Precision-machined from 6061 aluminum with stainless steel components, the Force SL II delivers impressive structural integrity at an extremely low weight. Its highly refined machining process maximizes strength while minimizing unnecessary mass, staying true to the reel’s “muscle and bone” design philosophy.
Drag
Sealed Conical Drag System – The Force SL II utilizes Lamson’s proven sealed conical drag system, offering smooth startup, consistent resistance, and dependable stopping power. The sealed design protects the drag from water, dirt, and debris, ensuring long-term reliability and low maintenance across freshwater and light saltwater applications.
Arbor Size
Super Large Arbor – The oversized arbor significantly increases retrieval speed while reducing line memory and improving overall line management. This design helps anglers quickly recover slack and maintain better control during fast-paced fights.
Warranty
Lamson Warranty – As of January 2026, Lamson Liquid Max Reels are backed by a manufacturer’s warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear, misuse, or damage from improper maintenance are not covered, and Lamson reserves the right to repair or replace components at their own discretion
