Do your job. Designed as a bullet proof workhorse for your stable of reels, with everything you need and nothing you don’t—turn off your smart phone, check your knots and get to work. 

Designing Centerfire, we drew from the strongest and most reliable elements from over a quarter century of fly reel production.  The frame incorporates our proprietary—IPX8 waterproof rated—Cobalt drag system, burly Power Arm construction and load path reinforcement.  The spool maximizes capacity and line retrieval with plenty of porting to dry out after a big day.  Add a large fluted drag knob, oversized handle and hard anodize and you can be sure this reel will only clock out when you do.

Available in Citra and Eclipse.

Outstanding reel

I just came back from a week in Alaska and this reel was perfect for Coho and Chum fishing with my 8wt rod. I never used anywhere near the available drag on fresh, large fish with sea lice still attached. Great weight and functioned flawlessly.

Sounds like an icredible trip! Glad to hear the Centerfire worked well for you.

Great Reel.... Strong Drag

I purchased this reel, but ended up returning it when I noticed the amount of drag the reel has when opened all the way up.

The reel is certainly made with quality and love as are all Lamsons. I'm still very much a Lamson fan boy, but just prefer a lighter drag on my reels.

Soctt, thanks for letting us know. You are right that the cobalt drag reels (Liquid Max/Litespeed M/Centerfire) do not have any true free spool. We use pretty burly seals to make sure that the drag is completely waterproof. Those seals will break in and the low end drag will break in a bit. WE really appreciate the support and the standard conical drag reels are working out for you.

Its a killer!!!

Since there is no reviews on this reel on here I felt obligated to write one. I got this Centerfire HD 8 home today, fit and finish is at good as it gets, the drag is amazing and smooth, it balance both two of my micro spey rods (10’7 & 11’6) perfectly. I was able to put 250 yards of 50lb SA XTS on it and a 390 grain SA spey lite scandi line on top of that, no problem! My nr 1 top reel that I have at home is my Einarsson Invictus 8/10 and no reel on the market had been able to match that one so far for years. But today when I got this reel in my hand, played around with it a little and tried it out, I can tell you this much, it does match the quality of my Einarsson Invictus reel!!! Lamson should be very proud of themself with the making of this reel, it is a masterpiece!!! Ty Lamson it was worth the 800 euro (with taxes) I had to pay for it here in sweden, Iam very happy with my purchase!!!!!!! /Fredde

We are super excited with the Centerfire and thanks for taking the time to let us know what you thought about it. It will serve you well for many years (and fish)!
