Velocity - fast action rods for freshwater fly fishing.
Velocity
Big flies on open water, blowing like crazy? Yep. Send one out to a seam in the middle of a wide freestone and throw in a reach? Nailed it. Lift a meaty streamer with a Belgian backcast and hit the other side of the river? Done. 10" Brookies in a beaver pond on 6X? Uh, not quite.
But if speed is what you need...Point and shoot, fast and furious, lifting power and laser loops - a Velocity Fly Rod just found a new home.
Lock Down Reel Seats
A standard reel seat functions by squeezing two curved surfaces with tapered fittings. But no matter how hard you press with the slide band, the reel can still rock slightly side to side under load, and bit by bit, loosen the rings. Waterworks-Lamson noticed this doesn't happen with their Center Axis rod / reel system:reels never shift on the rod and never require retightening. Waterworks-Lamson challenged themselves to rethink the standard reel seat to provide the same benefits.
Lockdown achieves stability by seating the straight edges of the reel foot on rails machined into the seat. This rail geometry requires very little pressure from the rings, and NEVER works its way loose while casting.
