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.

Right On!!!! Nice thing about buying it from an ORVIS dealer and not the Orvis store is that you can get Non Orvis line.
Did you got for the TROUT or the GPX (GPX being 1/2 sized larger and shoots like a canon)?

I sure wish it was fathers day and not mothers day I just may be able to justify it a bit better. But i will keep my mouth shut and let her have her day.

I would give it to my wife but i think she would be onto me from the start. Its like buying her one of those stringy outfits... bottom line she knows its more for me than her.[shocked]

I just bought a lamson radius 3.5 and an extra spool for my spey and my 8 wt rods and came home and said thanks for the reels I don't need anything else for mothers day So for fathers day I'll have her buy me the lines to fill the reels. Hopefully she will like them.
