That's a great deal!

That is a great reel and a great deal, but hardly a "basic disc drag" in the guts. All Lamson reels use the same tapered bearing drag system and it is outstanding.

I just bought a Konic at a fly shop and paid retail for it.
Yes, the drag is not a disk drag, and it does seem to be quite good. It delivers adjustable resistance from virtually none up to very high, able to break almost any leader. And the adjustment is super smooth, so it's pretty easy to dial it in to the resistance desired.
The guts are also in a sealed chamber inside the arbor, so there are no worries with dunking it.
