This is going to sound really stupid, I bought this reel about 6 years ago and I have never used it. Today I wanted to test a 3 wt line. It had one on it, so I got it out of the box and I could not figure out how to release the spool. The leader was all wound up in the side of it. No latch release? Anyone have one?

I had to look the reel up to see what it looked like. If it really does look like the older Lamson Litespeed with the large holes/cutouts in the back side of the reel frame, you have to push the spool out from the back side of the reel. Hold the reel with your fingertips around the reel with the back side facing you and your thumbs through the holes on the spool itself. Push hard. Hope that helps.

probably a "pop out" like the Lamson reels.

That did it. It took a lot more pressure than I was comfortable applying. Not knowing if there was a release somewhere I did not know about. thank you!
