The Spey specialist from Waterworks-Lamson. The ARX II is designed for two-handed and switch rods and is aimed at anyone targeting salmon, steelhead, or large sea trout. It is also right at home in saltwater.
The full-cage design prevents thin running lines from slipping between the spool and the frame. The extra-large, sealed conical drag is maintenance-free, starts very smoothly, and offers enough drag force for powerful fish. The large-arbor spool retrieves line quickly and reduces memory effects. Its slightly higher weight optimally balances long two-handed rods.
