Lamson Colbalt Fly Rod 9' 9wt 4pc

Gun Control

No, not that kind. But “hand cannon” might be a term that comes to mind when you’re on the flats with a Cobalt rod.

Think of your fly as a projectile, your line a powder charge, that Permit sliding by at 70 feet as a silhouette. Aim and fire.

Cobalt rods are built on a hyper-fast blank crafted to deliver blistering line speed and wind conquering loops, with enough flex in the tip and mid-section to allow you feel the action load but plenty of muscle down deep to pick up that 70 feet of line for a quick re-cast.

Based on our popular SS-Salt blanks with dialed hardware and proprietary lockdown reel seat, Cobalt is our next evolution in saltwater performance.

Ultra-fast action

Lockdown™

A standard real seat functions by squeezing two curved surfaces together with tapered fittings. But no matter how hard you press with the slide band, the reel can still rock slightly side to side under load, and bit by bit, loosen the rings. We noticed this doesn't happen with our Center Axis rod/reel system: reels never shift on the rod and never require retightening. We challenged ourselves to rethink the standard reel seat to provide the same benefits.

Lockdown™ achieves stability by seating the straight edges of the reel foot on rails machined into the seat. This rail geometry requires very little pressure from the rings, and NEVER works its way loose while casting.

Ride the rails.
