A beautiful reel from Lamson—made in the USA. The ARX II is a fully caged reel, so there is no possibility of a fly line jumping off the reel no matter how thin it may be. The 7+ is a great size with enough line capacity to use on a trout Spey or 5-6 weight Spey rod. The 9+ is a great fit for a 7 or 8 weight Spey rod. To match with a single-hand rod, please check out the line chart below:
