Default Anti reverse AND direct drive?

Hmm, interesting proposal. Though I rarely hear my name and trust in
the same sentence when referring to fly fishing. "Frank, I'll trust
you to show me where its safe to wade." "Frank, I'll trust you to
guide me down this steep hill to the creek." Nah, that just doesn't
sound right.
In all honesty, I would love to give the system a try. Sufficient eval
period (like the Spring/Summer drop of the cottonwood seeds. Great
time for carp on the surface.) and complete freedom to write what I
feel.
This forum has a lot of readers and a lot of impact. In the past, I've
read some stats that say that there are as many as 2000-5000 folks
lurking in a week. I know that I often google a product in this group
before I buy.
I could only hope that the reel is of the same quality as the Marryat
vise. The best fly tyer I know (Tim Trexlar, double gold medal winner
at the Irish Open fly tying competition) uses one.
And I agree with Messr Dean. Not spam. An inventor, proud of his
product, going to a tough forum to introduce his product and is willing
to answer questions. Pretty much like a lot of the guys here that have
invented a new fly.
