Hi Calif,

It takes a little more than just one roller clutch bearing to make a
reliable anti reverse reel, but I agree with you that there are anti reverse
reels in this market that are very reliable, but people who are used to fish
with DD reels somehow think that the extra AR mechanism gives a higher risk
for failure. This is not the main point.

The biggest disadvantage of an AR reel is that line can go off the reel
while you are reeling in and you constantly have to adjust the drag in a
time when you need to concentrate in front where the action is. People like
to pre adjust the drag only once per day. With the Marryat Plus you can
decide if you want to remain in anti reverse mode or you squeeze the handle
to put it in DD mode and pump the rod and retrieve the line. This is
definitely an advantage towards a standard AR reel.

If your reel is as good as your statements, it is crap. Anti reverse
reels require one bearing is all to generate the anti-reverse. A bearing
type that has been made for years and acts like a clutch.

Anti reverse reels are known to be heavy, unreliable because they have
too many small delicate moving parts, it is hard to tell if the line is
coming in or going out while you are cranking and you waist energy
winding against the drag. whereas direct drive reels can beat up your
knuckles and snap the tippet if you do not pay attention.

Marryat has developed a new generation anti reverse/direct drive fly reel
which progressively adds drag when you squeeze the handle; enough to lock
it making the switch from anti reverse to direct drive, allowing you to
pump the rod and retrieve line. As soon as you release the fingertip
pressure the drag automatically goes back to the initial setting which is
usually set fairly low ready for the strike. Your hand always remains on
the handle and you instinctively control this reel with the tip of you
fingers.

This "Swiss Made" fly reel is built with the minimum amount of parts
making it highly reliable and very lightweight.

I would be glad to answer any questions.
