What is "Hard Alox"? Last season when we debuted the Limited Edition Series 1 Litespeed, these reels came clad in a new kind of armour; a more evolved version of our Type 3 "Guide Finish", but smoother to the touch and with much greater coating depth. We believed it had a unique visual appeal and was consistent with the Waterworks' never-wavering "form follows function" design ethos. Our dealers and customers agreed. This season all of our premium reels are offered in one fantastic finish only -- a proprietary combination of alloy selection, mechanical preparation and conversion coating we are dubbing "Hard Alox".
The term "Hard Alox" is taken from the anodizing process itself, wherein the aluminum surface is converted to aluminum oxide. By increasing the coating thickness and reducing porosity, our Hard Alox coating is much more durable than even our bulletproof Guide finish of seasons past.
Available on ULA Force LT Reels, ULA Force Saltwater/Spey Reels, Lamson Litespeed, and Lamson Velocity Reels
