New for 2009 is the Momentum LT - a lightweight, modern version of the
standard Momentum. While the Momentum will continue to serve as a workhorse in
the world of big game fly fishing, the Momentum LT joins the lineup as an equal
competitor with a handful of new features. The LT is considerably lighter,
without sacrificing anything in the way of strength or durability. The LT series
is crafted with modern cosmetics, has enhanced sound on line-in and line-out, a
machined engraved logo on the spool cap, and the reel is fitted with our newest
drag knob design that delivers smooth rotation, infinite adjustments and secure
settings.
