More Liquid courage. When creating the first-generation Liquid, we focused purely on the virtues and advantages a pressure-cast process can offer. With the second-generation Liquid S we take these advantages to a higher level. Liquid S has larger diameters, larger arbors and increased strength-to-weight ratios that come from the unique pocket spar frame and spool design. The arbor shape has been redesigned for cleaner spooling, and the drag knob is now larger, and if we can say it, “gripier”. Liquid S carries the Liquid name to a higher level.
Available in Smoke and Day Break.
** Liquid S Spools also fit Remix S HD and non-HD Remix S Reels **
** Not compatible with previous generation Liquid and Remix**
Liquid S reels feature a fully cast construction that is machined to ensure tight tolerances and high-quality finish. Remix S reels upgrade to a CNC machined and anodized frame for increased durability and share the same cast spool as the Liquid S.
How are the Liquid S and Remix S reels sized?
Our reels are sized for one line weight up or down. For example, a -5+ is appropriate 4/5/6wt fly lines. If you are in between sizes staying with the smaller reel is usually a good guideline. If you would prefer to prioritize backing capacity or like a larger arbor, the larger size will work better.
Are the spools interchangeable?
Yes, spare spools are available and we also make a 3-Pack which includes 1 reel and 2 additional spools. The Liquid S and Remix S also share a spool meaning they are interchangeable as long as they are the same size.
Are these reels available for left and right hand retreive?
All of our reels are shipped set up for left hand retrieve. They are easily converted to right hand retrieve without the use of tools.
How strong is the drag?
We use a proprietary sealed, conical drag that offers a wide range of drag settings with plenty of stopping power on the high end. This sealed drag can be used in fresh or saltwater and helps keep water and debris out.
What does large arbor mean?
The core of a fly reels performance is retrieve rate per ounce, a measure of how efficiently a reel picks up line relative to its weight. There’s no real downside to a higher retrieve rate beyond added mass, which we minimize through advanced design and precision machining. All of our reels qualify as large-arbor designs, with a few pushing the limits like our Hyperspeed reels. A large arbor refers to the reel’s overall diameter, as well as the diameter of the spool’s base where backing and fly line are stored. Increasing a reel’s arbor size delivers faster line pickup, more line retrieved with every revolution of the spool and provides a more consistent drag as line is taken out or wound in, since the diameter changes less dramatically. Compared to traditional arbor reels, which lose diameter (and drag consistency) quickly as line is stripped off. Large-arbor reels also reduce line memory, resulting in fewer coils and smoother line handling.
