The Waterworks-Lamson Centerfire 8 reel is an ideal choice for saltwater flats anglers. The heavy-duty aluminum construction is perfect for fighting big fish and it has been fully sealed against full submersion all the way down to 100 feet. The CNC machined bar stock aluminum Centerfire features a new power arm ported frame with deep cross section radial spool spokes for high rigidity and structural performance. Bones, Permit and Tarpon are just out classed by Lamson’s Cobalt conical drag system, while the adjustable initial drag setting keeps that trophy under control from set to net. The Lamson Centerfire 8 has all the power of larger saltwater reels but is designed to balance with today’s 7 and 8 weight rods to keep you casting all day. All drag components manufactured in the USA and assembled in Boise, Idaho.
The Centerfire Cobalt drag system is certified waterproof to 100 feet by an independent test laboratory. In and out of the water, it stands up to the harshest of elements. Custom formulated self-lubricating O-rings protect every point of ingress. A fixed spindle format ensures complete sealing. A supercharged version Lamson’s conical drag system rotates on high-precision ABEC 5 ceramic ball bearings. The power is in your hands with a “set drag” system of adjustment that allows you to set a preferred stripping pressure against a stop. Access the full range of torque in half-pound click stop increments through a single rotation of the drag knob, with increments etched into the knob for visual reference.
