The Waterworks Lamson Cobalt Fly Fishing Reel is a big game powerhouse that brings many new technological breakthroughs to the fly fishing world. The Cobalt Reel is designed for the salt. From flats fishing to the deep blue, this reel is designed to battle the largest angling targets in the world and withstand the harsh environments in which they swim. The Waterwork Lamson Cobalt Reel is certified waterproof to 100 feet. For this reason and many others, its drag system is an industry first. There are custom formulated self-lubricating O-rings to protect every point of ingress and a fixed spindle ensures complete sealing in all situations, both above and below the water's surface. This drag is a supercharged version of Lamson's extremely popular conical drag system - it rotates on high-precision ABEC ceramic ball bearings and uses a high temperature graphite alloy to generate 12+ pounds of line out torque.
