Product detailed description
Lamson Litespeed M10 Fly Reel – Wild Child Limited Edition
Premium performance with a wild new finish
The Lamson Litespeed M10 Wild Child Fly Reel takes the advanced machining and performance of the Litespeed series in a completely new visual direction.
Bold tones and splash anodizing give this limited-run variant its distinctive appearance while maintaining the corrosion resistance, durability and longevity expected from a premium Lamson fly reel.
It may look unconventional, but its performance is pure Litespeed.
The lightweight yet extremely strong frame provides dependable support without unnecessary weight. Its large-arbor design improves line retrieval and helps reduce line memory, while the smooth drag system delivers predictable resistance when fighting powerful fish.
It is OK to be a Wild Child.

Important Operating Information
Do not remove the drag knob or the two-hole nut located in the centre of the drag knob.
Always make sure the Gland Cap is firmly tightened by hand, particularly before using the reel for the first time or after changing the retrieve direction. Do not use tools to tighten it. When installed correctly, the Gland Cap should sit completely against the drag cylinder.
The drag system is designed to operate without lubrication. Do not apply oil or lubricant in or around the drag system.
A small amount of WD-40 may be applied only to the retrieve handle when necessary to remove dirt between the handle and handle shaft.
Freshwater Care
Occasionally rinse the reel thoroughly under fresh running water.
Wipe the spool and frame to remove dirt and debris. Check the spool spindle regularly and keep it clean.
Saltwater Care
Rinse the reel thoroughly with fresh running water after every use in saltwater.
For occasional deep cleaning of the drag system:
- Remove the spool.
- Unscrew the Gland Cap.
- Remove the red and silver clutch assembly.
- Rinse all components and the inside of the drag cylinder with fresh running water.
- Allow every component to dry completely before reassembly.

Waterworks was formed in 1996 when fishermen who happened to be product designers figured a better way to release a fly-caught fish. The status quo, the hemostat, wasn't good for the fish or the fly. Their solution was an innovative tool that allowed a fish to be released without handling, and the fly to remain intact. Named after their hometown in Idaho, they called the tool the Ketchum Release.
Those same fishermen were also bicycle enthusiasts and prior to forming Waterworks, had honed their skills in the world of high performance cycling, creating and patenting cutting-edge components and mountain bike suspension technology. Eventually turning their focus to the fly reel was a logical thing to do: Reels were, essentially, a wheel on a frame.
Fly reels were heavy, overly complex and unreliable. They had slow retrieve rates. They caused line to coil and drag tension as line fed out. The designers wondered, ``what would the perfect fly reel look like?`` The ULA (ultra large arbor), the power arm frame, the conical sealed drag, the integrated counterbalance — all were the results of this early work and formed the basis of an enduring architecture.
In 1998, Waterworks acquired Lamson and, along with Waterworks Force reels, now had two brands sharing the core technology and design ethos of simplicity and function-driven styling. The line-up of reels has radiated into specialized niches over time: two handed, salt water, super-arbor, and rugged environments. The pursuit of inspired design and solid engineering has driven Waterworks-Lamson's fly reel innovation for two decades, with no end in sight.
Waterworks Lamson is renowned for its high-performance fly reels and rod and reel bags. With innovative design and lightweight durability, Lamson reels are ideal for anglers seeking precision and reliability in both freshwater and saltwater fly fishing.
