Overview
The Daiwa Lohommore A is a compact click-drag fly reel with an aluminum die-cast spool and body, a one-touch detachable spool, and a semi-large arbor, weighing 4.2 oz and sized for light line classes such as DT2F, DT3F, WF3F, and WF4F.
This is a classic click-pawl fly reel rather than a sealed disc-drag model, aimed at small stream and light-line fly fishing where a simple, audible drag is enough. The 100/200/300 designation in the title reflects a small range of line weights the reel is built around, so match it to a rod in that class rather than a heavier saltwater setup.
- Click drag system with semi-large arbor spool
- One-touch detachable spool for quick line changes
- Aluminum die-cast body and spool at 4.2 oz
- Sized for DT2F, DT3F, WF3F, and WF4F line classes
Who it's for
Suits a fly angler fishing small streams with light rods who wants a simple mechanical drag rather than electronics or a sealed disc system. Less suited to anglers targeting larger fish that need strong, adjustable drag under sustained pressure.
