I am a big fan of closeouts on fly equipment, especially with companies that offer long or lifetime warranties. I just picked up a lamson konic for $90.00, usually for 159. The Konic ii is new for 2013, has the same drag and look, just different color. It sells for the same price as the Konic i. Seem like a nice reel and it has the same drag system as all the lamson reels. Its lifetime warranty is also a big plus. Tomorrow I will be getting some backing and putting my normal orvis line on it to try it out. I guess its time for something than the battenkill on my helios. Big tip for anybody putting on their own fly line... Don't take the fly line off the spool, reel it off the spool. If you don't do this, you will have the biggest tangle and trust me its not fun. I am speaking from experience.
