Lamson ARX II Spey Reel
The Lamson ARX II Spey Reel is purpose-built for the demands of modern two-hand fishing. Designed as the backbone of Lamson’s spey lineup, the ARX II is burly, overbuilt, and ready for serious work—exactly what you want when chasing steelhead and salmon with long rods and heavy lines.
At the core of the ARX II is a true full cage frame, eliminating any chance of thin running lines slipping between the spool and frame. Whether you're fishing mono running line or ultra-thin braid, this design keeps everything in check when it matters most.
The extra-large conical drag system delivers smooth, consistent pressure with the power to turn big fish. From subtle tension adjustments to heavy resistance during blistering runs, it’s built to protect light connections while still applying serious stopping power.
A large arbor spool ensures fast line pickup and increased capacity, while the slightly heavier build perfectly balances longer spey rods and heavier grain systems. Finished in the sleek Nightfall colorway, the ARX II blends performance with a clean, modern aesthetic.
When the swing slows down and the grab finally comes, this is the reel you want in your hands.
