A konic is an awesome reel, I have a magnitude that I absolutely love to death for carpin' also fish with a pfleuger president that i like a lot but cannot find extra spools for it. I am also looking at getting three or four of the reels from Allen Fly company. I got to handle and play with one not too long ago and for the price tag they are super nice reels. Here is a link to the Allen reel http://allenflyfishing.myshopify.com/products/alpha-reel The reel I got to play with was the 7/8 and it was flawless, really smooth drag and you could really crank it down tight.
