Used Lamson 3 Reel Black
$ 130.00
SKU Stacho-46This reel is in good shape. It is marked up, but fully fishable for your next adventure. This is a perfect reel for streamer fishing or striper fishing, when, you want a bigger, beefier reel, to have a higher line capacity, and where drag isn't crucial. This reel received a B- grade.
The Lamson 3 Reel—often referring to models like the Lamson LP-3 or early Waterworks Lamson numbered reels—is a classic, U.S.-made fly reel known for its solid construction, smooth drag system, and minimalist design. Designed to handle 5 to 7 weight lines, the "3" size was ideal for versatile trout setups, light steelhead, and even bass fishing.
The early Lamson reels, especially the LP (Lightweight Performance) series, were fully machined from high-grade aluminum and featured a sealed, maintenance-free conical drag system—an innovative design at the time that set Lamson apart for its smooth startup inertia and consistent performance under pressure.
Anglers appreciated the Lamson 3 for its rugged reliability, lightweight feel, and clean, understated aesthetics. Even though newer models have since taken over the lineup (like the Guru, Litespeed, and Liquid series), the original Lamson 3 remains a favorite among those who value precision American machining, smart engineering, and reels built to last season after season.
