The Litespeed Ultramarine is the Formula 1 reel for saltwater fly fishing: very light for fatigue-free casting, ultra powerful brake totally waterproof and progressive, ultra large arbor for a quick retrieve.
A real joy, as much for its performance in fishing action (the Bijagos jacks remember it) as from an aesthetic point of view.
A little marvel declined for all saltwater fishing, from bonefish to GT, passing by tarpon, permit, without forgetting the sea bass, nor the big freshwater predators.
For example, the #8 model is perfect for balancing Guideline LPX Coastal fly rods or Brittany Fly Fishing custom rods.
The largest model LSM12REEL-UM not stocked, on special order only.

Description
The Marine version of Litespeed is equipped with a hybrid drag system, sharing some elements of the Cobalt drag – fixed spindle, large heat wicking conical surfaces, click stop drag knob.
The LS UM incorporates close tolerance composite bearings, and comes equipped with the same linear spring set found on LS F, optimized for each reel size. Like our Cobalt reel, it holds an IPX8 waterproof rating to 100 ft.
LS UM frame and spool share the same open structure as LS F, with emphasis on greater stiffness and stability.
The art of the fly reel derives from the science of the fly reel, but at the end of the day both art and science, when held in balance, serve to make us smile.
Manufactured in the U.S.A. and assembled in Boise, Idaho.
