  • New gear: Waterworks Lamson Center Axis rod and reel

    The idea is to "de-lever" the fly rod. To remove the weight of the reel from the fly rod and make it so you're holding a single product, not two unique tools for fly fishing. It's brazen, I'll give you that. The Waterworks Lamson Center Axis rod-and-reel combo was perhaps the most curious new product…
