Waterworks is a renowned brand that offers high-quality fishing gear and accessories. Established in 1996 by a group of experienced fishermen who were also product designers, the company aimed to revolutionize the way fly-caught fish were released. Dissatisfied with the existing tools, they developed the innovative Ketchum Release, which allowed for safe fish release without handling and preserving the integrity of the fly.

Inspired by their expertise in high-performance cycling, these designers turned their attention to fly reels, seeking to improve their performance and functionality. Waterworks-Lamson's extensive lineup of reels features cutting-edge technology and a commitment to simplicity and function-driven design. The ULA (ultra large arbor), power arm frame, conical sealed drag, and integrated counterbalance are just a few examples of their innovative features.

In 1998, Waterworks acquired Lamson, further expanding their range of high-quality reels. For two decades, Waterworks-Lamson has continued to push the boundaries of fly reel innovation, catering to specialized niches such as two-handed, saltwater, super-arbor, and rugged environments. With their unwavering dedication to inspired design and solid engineering, Waterworks-Lamson is a brand that remains at the forefront of the fishing industry
