Won a certificate for a nice discount on either of these reels at a TU Banquet. Do not know anything about them. Seems they were at one time a sponsor of FAOL. I like the weights listed for the various models and they certainly seem to be a handsome reel. The important question I have is how does the drag perform. I am primarily interested in performance at the lightest settings. I fish light and really light tippets. Hopefully some members have experience with these reels and can advise me. I feel I have not been too bad of a boy and deserve a new toy, should this be my choice ?
The Marryat reels are just terrific. Yes, they have been a long-time Sponsor, and only withdrew recently since they are revamping their product line. We sure hope they will be back. Good stuff and really good people.
