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.

In my opinion, you're not quite spamming, because it was one
well-identified announcement-type thing and you had the courtesy to
follow the thread and reply in a timely manner, but I'll refrain from
just taking your word for things. If you really wish to participate
around here, welcome aboard, but you may just wish to sell us ****
(unlike the other "vendors" around here).

So, here's my proposal: If you really want those here on ROFF to become
familiar with, and potentially buy your reel, prove that it and you are
something worthy of consideration. I'd trust a review from Frank Reid,
as I think many, if not most, here would. He expressed an interest, so
send him one and let him review it (his returning or keeping it is
betwixt the two of y'all). If he gives it a thumbs-up, I suspect it'll
garner a lot more positive attention here. Of course, if he rips it and
you whine...

And for the record, I have no interest whatsoever in your sending Frank
in particular a demo.

HTH,
R
