I need a new reel for a 6 weight rod and I think I like the conical drag the lamson reels have, in particular I am looking at the Velocity 2 or 3. This will be on my do anything 6 weight 6 piece rod for traveling. So it might see surf fishing in San Diego or trout in Utah, My other consideration is the Ross Rhythm.

So what are your opinions on the Lamson (I already have 2 Ross reels - Gunnison and Colorado) and like them allot but something about the conical drag calls to me!

Thanks,
Dan
