I just purchased the Lamson Konic 2 reel. The first impression was that of the reels finish. It looks like bead blasted stainless steel although It isn't.
I decided to compar it directly against the Lamson Litespeed to determine if they maintained their quality and here is what I saw. |

Re: Lamson Konic Reel
Regardless of what model you buy Lamson makes a fine reel and the drag is the best out of the box engineering there is today. I have not bunt any up yet and I've realy tried to on several salt trips.

Re: Lamson Konic Reel
Here's the new look. It is now being called the Konic II. From the specs, the dimensions look the same between the original and the new.
 Original Konics are on clearance all over the interwebs, if you are looking for one. Dennis |

Re: Lamson Konic Reel
I had to come back and ask, does anyone have a problem with the reel feet being a bit big? I tried to slip my 2 on a couple of Sage 5wts and felt like I had to jam it in there a bit, much more so than with my Ross reels...

Re: Lamson Konic Reel
I'm glad to hear all the good stuff about this reel. I'm getting the 1.5 for xmas (shhhhh i'm not supposed to know)
 I was worried if I had picked a decent reel or not but after reading thru all these posts, i'm sure I will be happy with it. |

Re: Lamson Konic Reel
Ive got a 3.5 I used on a 4 wt. switch (deer creek 4110). It has been flat out awesome. Granted- it's pretty rare for me to get a trout on the reel, but when you need it, the drag works smoothly. The price is outstanding- and they are on sale right now at MRFC. No regrets
