dont know if yall know this or not, but if you head to a certified orvis dealer, you buy a certain rod (TLS, Helios) you get a free batten kill reel. saves you up to 300 bucks. i got a TLS 5 weights and a large arbor batten kill, backing, and sharkskin line, for 499 bucks. i believe the guy told me it ends the 15th of may, so you might want to ask around about it. i got mine at Ark Anglers in Pueblo CO.
