Blank

High Modulus Graphite - Crafted out of a quality high-modulus graphite with a fast action, the Liquid Max is responsive and has all of the power you need to punch into strong winds and make short work of tough fish. Whether accurately placing your fly in front of a mudding carp or bombing casts into the expansive surf for striped bass, this blank delivers all presentations with confidence and ease.

Lamson finishes their Liquid Max off with a half-sanded matte natural finish. This choice aids in stealthy presentations by reducing glare, and it also sports a muted and ageless look.

Guides

Smoke Finish Guides - Performance-ready and tough enough to handle long days in salty and inclement weather, Lamson runs Smoke Finish Guides. These affordable guides complement the look of the blank and make for ultra-smooth casting while keeping the overall cost of the rod at bay.

Reel Seat

Anodized Aluminum Reel Seat - From early mornings spent scanning a dropping tide to long battles with steelhead, the Anodized Aluminum Reel Seat keeps your reel locked in while withstanding all of the rigors of salty environments and season after season of tough use.

Reel

Lamson completes this package deal with their Liquid Max Reel. This is an all-new offering that features Lamson's Cobalt drag system. This drag is totally sealed and able to stand up to harsh saltwater environments while taming tough fish. A narrow spool design makes for impressively quick retrieval, and whether you're fighting a 10-lb bonefish or putting the heat to a freshwater pike, the performance of the Liquid Max won't let you down.

Rod Tube

Lamson packages this outfit in a Cordura tube that also holds your reel. This choice is convenient and safe, and the design allows you to easily stow and remove your rod and reel in between outings or when traveling.

Warranty

Lamson's Liquid Max Outfit comes with a lifetime warranty that covers parts and labor but does not cover damages caused by things like misuse, improper maintenance, and modifications. Lamson also offers a repair on your rods for the price of $50. Lamson understands how important it is to get their customers back on the water quickly, so as of January 2025, they pledge to get your rod/reel back to you within two weeks of arriving at their warehouse.
