The Marryat Plus is engineered and crafted in Switzerland using the highest quality cold-forged aircraft grade aluminum bar stock on the same machines and meeting the same exacting tolerances (.0003) used in the Swiss watch industry.
The Marryat Plus uses patented Online-Drag Technology the drag increases smoothly and progressively just by squeezing the wind handle. The hands remain in the same position when increasing or decreasing the drag force. This technique replaces the need for palming and un-natural hand motions. The drag force can be varied during the fight with the tip of your fingers. Keeping a constant drag setting protects against lost fish due to tippet shock.
The Marryat Plus fly reels are warranted for life against defects in materials and construction for the original owner. Marryat will replace or repair defective components.
