From big tailing bonefish just outside of Islamorada to the first false albacore of the year in Long Island Sound, Lamson's all-new Hyperspeed M8 Reel is the perfect choice for fast-running predators. The Hyperspeed M is another solid saltwater addition to Lamson's line of reels, but unlike some of their previous salt reels and many other saltwater reels on the market, the Hyperspeed M is totally different. Designed to be ultra-lightweight while offering incredibly fast line retrieval-two things that Lamson has done well for years—the Hyperspeed M sports an extra-large arbor coupled with the robust power of their Cobalt drag system. Boasting a whopping 14 inches of line pickup per turn on the M8 and a full 16 inches on the M10, this reel takes line pickup to the next level without adding extra weight or sacrificing drag strength, two common compromises when making a reel with this much line pickup. This ground-breaking design meets long-lasting durability through its meticulously well-thought-out CNC-machined aluminum frame and sealed Cobalt Drag system. A USA-made reel unlike any others available, the Hyperspeed M makes long days of casting a breeze while picking up line faster than any other 8-weight reel out there.
Design
Extra Large Arbor Saltwater Design - Lamson has designed the Hyperspeed M with an extra-large arbor and narrow frame, and somehow, they've managed to do this without adding extra weight or compromising the strength of the drag. The Hyperspeed M picks up line at an insane rate—14 inches per turn on the M8 and 16 inches per turn on the M10—making it a reliable choice for those times when a fish takes 100' of backing off of your reel within the blink of an eye.
Materials
Fully Machined Aluminum - Lamson's Hyperspeed M is made from a durable and lightweight CNC-Machined Aluminum. This is a great choice for this reel, as it provides all of the corrosion resistance that you need while holding up to rough and unforgiving saltwater environments.
Drag
Cobalt Hybrid Drag System - Lamson achieves top-notch stopping power in a lightweight package by incorporating their Cobalt Drag System into this reel. This indexing drag system is made in the USA and combines a Teflon alloy drag cone with Carbon PEEK Thrusters and custom self-lubricating seals. Well-designed, durable, and hard on tough fish, the Cobalt Drag has you covered no matter what chews the Clouser you've been stripping all morning.
Materials - The Cobalt Drag that's used on Lamson's Hyperspeed M Reel is durably made with a Teflon alloy drag cone, Carbon PEEK Thrusters, self-lubricating seals, and has an IPX8 Waterproof rating.
Arbor Size
Extra Large Arbor - The Hyperspeed M Fly Reel has an extra large arbor design that allows for super quick line retrieval and plenty of space for backing. Built for use with rods in the 7 through 10 weight range (M8 for 7 and 8-weights, M10 for 9 and 10-weights), this reel holds 250 yards of backing (20# on the M8, 30# on the M10), and its retrieval rate of up to 16 inches per turn is as impressive as it is quick to get your line back on your reel after a fish takes a blistering run.
Warranty
Lamson Warranty - As of July 2024, Lamson offers the original owner a lifetime warranty that covers defects in material and/or workmanship. Lamson's warranty does not cover issues due to user error, misuse, or improper maintenance. Lamson charges a $35 processing fee and reserves the right to repair or replace your reel at their own discretion.
