Lamson Konic Fly Reels |
Lamson Reels boast high-end performance, top-tier technology and a reasonable price. The Konic comes with the same fully sealed conical drag system found on the other Lamson fly reels such as the Velocity and the Litespeed. What other $100+ reel can say that it shares proven drag technology with a $400+ reel? And the fully sealed drag system on Lamson fly fishing reels means no more removing the spool to clear sand. The drag is silky smooth, adjusts from near zero to a more normal setting in very tiny increments, and will stop even the most powerful fish in its tracks.
The Konic's frame and spool are pressure-cast aluminum alloy, resulting in pieces that are strong, smooth, and consistent. This is what makes Lamson reels feel very light in the hand and perfectly balanced on the rod. Contrast this method with the Gravity Casting used by competitors. The Konic is anodized, then finished with a hard, 100% solid polyurethane, baked surface which provides a virtually indestructible, abrasion-resistant finish. Contrast this to the weaker electrostatic paints that competitive reels use. The result is strong, sharp-looking Lamson fly reels with great performance for the price. This is one tough reel that will last a lifetime without any problems.
