Marryat Reels

[Preston Singletary]

I have owned a couple of Marryat MR (MR8.5 and MR9) reels for quite a few
years and, while I have not used them extensively (usually fishing my old
Hardy St. Aidan since I can't convince myself that one needs a disc drag for
steelhead), I have taken a few summer run steelhead on them and always found
them to perform smoothly and flawlessly, never having lost a fish due to any
malfunction of the reel.
