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.

Marryat,

Inventor of the Marryat Plus

I wouldn't mind trying your "anti reverse and direct drive reel". I will
be fishing for king salmon in Alaska this July with a 10 wt 9' fly rod.
What's involved in getting onto your test-drive list? I'm actually in the
market for a 10 wt.fly- reel as I have posted in this newsgroup earlier.
You can email me direct if you'd like:

thanks,
