This is up to you but I wouldn't recommend it as it limits the versatility of the reel. All you need to do is pop the spool off from time to time and hand tighten the gland cap. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment. Be well!

If you go that route, then make sure it is Loctite 425 because the regular stuff can damage the gland cap. But a lot of the reels will never have this problem because all of the Lamson fly reels that I have owned never had an issue of the gland cap working itself loose. As I mention on another reply, I suspect that some are lubing their Lamson fly reel up when they tell you in the booklet to run it dry. I have witnessed different issues that Lamson owners had because they oiled the reels up but used a lot of grease too.

LOL yes-def the gland cap! 😆

Thanks! I dont get tangles and for those who do I think it is a matter of practicing casting. This is a euro setup so there is little to no false casting for me here which is where problems tend to happen. Also, another tip to avoid problems in using two flies like this is to place your anchor fly on your dropper tag. I find that placing my heavier fly on the dropper minimizes twist. Hope this helps!

Thanks! Tight lines!

Contact Lamson about that because their customer service is great, so they will make it right for you. They sent me a new handle at no charge when I contacted them about a reel that I bought that appeared to have a screw part on the handle that was not quite right, which they asked me for my address, then the part they sent came in pretty quick.

Youre welcome!

That is a killer price, thanks for sharing!

Glad you got it all figured out--make sure you check that baby every now and again. They are good reels.

Good question. I suggest a euro-style rod for this --10 feet or longer. This extra distance really helps when dead drifting... I use a 10' 3 wt for a lot of the water I fish.

@@anchorfly awesome thank you 🙏🙌 looking at purchasing my first euro rod

@@justinmorrall5958 That's exciting, congrats to you!!

Interesting. I personally would avoid that solution to keep the flexibility of the reel. But I do get that and it should totally work for you. My guess is that applying Locktite would be a full proof solution for this issue.

@@anchorflyI wouldn’t be worried for a personal rod. I can see the concern a little bit if you’re flipping them back and forth quite a bit for guiding, but if you use the normal blue one, it’s not like you can’t break the threads again.

Not all Lamson fly reels have this issue. If it is something that happens often, then someone might be lubing their Lamson fly reel up when they tell you in the booklet to run it dry, but they will replace a glandcap and I am sure there is no need to send the whole reel in because they would just need to know the size of the reel to know what gland cap size to send.

Nice! Appreciate the comment. Hopefully, it never happens to you... If it does you'll know exactly what to do.

Good luck!

Thank you! Cheers!

Awesome thank you!

Thank you so much Alex--really appreciate your interest in the study. In terms of strength the palomar is an incredible knot and works fantastic with larger hook sizes... However doubling that line over and getting it though the eye of smaller flies is super tedious and in a lot of cases just not doable.

@@anchorfly So... somehow you can get the line through the hook eye 2 times for the Trilene Knot, but you can't get it through the eye 2 times for the Palomar Knot???

@@jamestucker4280 Thank you for your comment. You're right both knots have the line passing through the hook eye twice. The Palomar is commonly tied doubled over, which is not possible on smaller flies, however, if you wanted to tie by passing tippet through twice (not doubled over) that would totally work. Please note: before the trials, we conducted a survey asking 240 experienced fly anglers what knots they used... The Palomar was not one of the 7 most popular answers so this was not a knot we were highlighting.

Thanks! We did not test the pitzen knot. Before the trials, we conducted a survey whereby we asked 240 experienced fly anglers what knots they used... The pitzen was not one of the 7 most popular answers so unfortunately, it didn't make it into the study. And, crazy to say I haven't ever even tried this knot, so thanks for reminding me to try it...

Thanks Alex! I do spend a lot of time on the water, but am not a comp angler. With that said I do know comp anglers do use tight-line tactics... So there is that, but in terms of fishing micro-streamers as I describe in this video --I honestly cannot answer that. Appreciate you!

Haha yes sir!

Thanks Ben. My apologies for the delayed response. I am not going to be able to dive in and give you access to the raw data for this, however I will say that there was a relatively low standard of deviation. Because there are so many variables in tying a knot I considered high deviation operator error and threw it out. I am not sure if this provides more confidence in the study, but it is really all I can offer at present. Good luck to you!!
