Anti reverse AND direct drive?

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.

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.

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

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.

Obviously, he meant that if a fishing product can survive through some of
your more interesting outings, it will live through anything!!

Um, well, I didn't say I trusted your ability to remain dry and
undamaged, just your integrity in giving a fair trial and
review...assuming, of course, that you survive the testing phase G.
But heck, it were a personal safety device that needed a tryout, you'd
be the unquestionable "go to" guy - I mean, what could be better than
"insert product name kept Frank Reid upright and free of holes!" as a
safety endorsement...screw the "UL" cert, I want a "FR"...

You should adjust the drag for the line, and not touch it again. If it is
adusted properly, why adjust it? Unless the fish is going to spool you, and
it is a last desparate effort, more fish are lost because of somebody
deciding the drag is wrong during the fight.

I disagree. If you're fishing heavy tippet and the drag is adjusted to
that strength, it's hard to strip line from the reel. A tight drag also
interferes with the hookup. If I hook up on a big fish I'll first try to
get it on the reel (with plenty of bend in the rod), and then I'll
tighten the drag.

Yes, and this is what the Marryat Plus is all about:

You preset the drag fairly low to be able to easily strip off the line and
ready for the hookup and first run or two, then you start squeezing the
handle allowing you to pump the rod and retrieve line. If you feel the fish
is going to take another run you simple release the pressure of your finger
tips. However if the fish starts to get tired you squeeze the handle again
and you can force the fish in.

During all of this action, your hand always remained on the handle therefore
you can concentrate in front where the action is and no fumbling to adjust
the preset drag knob which is in the center of the reel.
