My "classic" collection of the original Lamson LP saltwater series. They're built like a tank--- weigh like one, too. I love these reels. I also have their entire freshwater LP lineup. And yes, I still actively fish with these 40 year-old reels. No issue whatsoever. (Missing the "Sailfish".)

We got the tank set up. Freshwater with real plants for tropical fish. One of the shop staff set it up for us and really took his time amd put in a lot of effort. I think the results are fab and we just wait a few weeks now before we put in the fish. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

Here in Scotland some of our browns migrate to sea. Little is known about why some do and some dont as genetically these fish are exactly the same. They feed hard in the sea and return to freshwater to spawn. This is an example of a saltwater caught scottish Sea Trout.
