Legends never die. The Lamson Purist II is a modern take on the classic click-pawl reel, built from just 15 individual parts for flawless, minimalist function. Draw a fish into the backing and the clicker sings, putting the fight literally in your palm the way traditional trout anglers have always loved.
Drawing on its U.L.A. lineage, the Purist II carries a super-large arbor that boosts average line retrieval by about 30 percent while keeping the featherweight mass of its predecessor. A fortified frame and sleek, narrow profile make it a reel in its purest form, at home on a fine cane, glass, or graphite trout rod.
