Speaking of Salmon I have landed kings in excess of 40 lbs in tidewater 200 yds from the bering sea with sea lice (not those fire trucks guys get 100 miles upstream) on my gunnisons try that on a CFO or LRH some time and report back to me feeds@yuku.com (BigTJ) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/118423 Tue, 20 Jan 2009 19:33:15 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Why don't we like the Marryat CMR? ]]> http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/118366/t/Why-don-t-we-like-the-Marryat-CMR-.html#reply-118366

and in spite of all that, it is the most un-lovable reel I've ever fished.

It's precisely because I picked it up for my daughter that I might get rid of it. I don't want her fishing experience flawed by equipment failure. She will make enough mistakes on her own.

Not to belabor a point here...because you already have my (negative) reply above....but to specifically answer this question: There's probably a huge difference.

Worked really well the first few outings. Then I hooked a fish. The drag worked flawlessly for the first 30 seconds and I marveled at my silky smooth reel and strong drag.

Opening the door you went straight up the stairs, but there was a shadowbox window display next to the door, teasing you about the delights waiting at the top of the stairs.
The Marryat in the window is still the sexiest fly reel image in my brain. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (bulldog1935) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/117589 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 09:46:58 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Why don't we like the Marryat CMR? ]]> http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/117581/t/Why-don-t-we-like-the-Marryat-CMR-.html#reply-117581
A couple of years ago (well maybe more like four or five) one of my fishing friends bought one. I remember fondling it and liking how it looked and felt. He was very jazzed about it--Swiss-made, light, attractive design and all. It came up in conversation last summer what had happened to his Swiss miss, as he was fishing with an English Princess. He sighed and said he had gotten rid of his Marryat girl because she was "too fragile".

I love my Marryat. My Marryat MR7.5 has landed many, many trout and something like 500 or 600 white bass. I love the reel. The roller-bearing clutch is the part that people both love (me) and hate (my friend Billy). It's hard to get dirt into the roller, but it must be lubed with just the right viscosity oil (30-wt.) in order to work.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (bulldog1935) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/117578 Fri, 16 Jan 2009 08:59:52 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Why don't we like the Marryat CMR? ]]> http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/117571/t/Why-don-t-we-like-the-Marryat-CMR-.html#reply-117571
Run, don't walk, away from those reels. Argueably...one of the prettiest reels ever made. I had two; an MR-8 and an MR-9. Both (!!) failed by going into bass reel free spool. LLBean used to match this reel with their rod outfits. When I retuurned *both* (arrahhhh!!) of mine the clerk told me that almost all of the Marryatts they sold came back for the same problem. The inferior caliper drag didn't work very well either.
