Anyone own one? Like it? I have to send mine back for the second time in
1
year because of a stuck spool. Tips? Waterworks-Lamson says this is
unusual...



I always thought the lightspeed was a good looking and smooth reel but
always thought it was too thin and did not think the reels could holdup to
prolonged dropping and banging without causing a slight bend in the frame or
the reel spool.



That is exactly what happened to my LS2. Dropped it on a rock and the
spool bent and jammed. I was able to roughly straighten it with my
fingers and it now rotates fine, with a just a little wobble. The main
problem is the cone in the "sealed" drag system corroded badly after 2
years use in fresh water. It is now back for repair. I wont buy another one.
