Reel system has revolutionized the concept of balance in fly fishing.
The center axis fly rod and reel combo from waterworks lamson is something completely different.
The center axis mount changes the feel of a fly rod entirely.
Moving back 60 feet is perhaps the favorite distance to cast the center axis as the effect of the axis increases with more rod movement.
Product development usually occurs incrementally.
The center axis may be the most meaningful advancement in fly rod performance since graphite replaced fiberglass all those decades ago.
The idea of changing the union of fly rod and reel has been kicked around for a while now.

It s certainly a unique idea and it s waterworks lamson s first foray into the fly rod business not just the fly reel business.

Get centered the center axis may be the most meaningful advancement in fly rod performance since graphite replaced fiberglass all those decades ago.
This placement also minimizes the levering effect that typical reel placement has on the setup making it easier to balance a heavier reel.
There is some solid science behind.
