I BOUGHT THIS REEL AND IT NEVER WORKED RIGHT FROM THE WORD GO. MY FRIEND BOUGHT ONE ALSO AND HIS DOES NOT WORK RIGHT. IT SEEM WE ARE NOT INTITLED TO ANYTHING MADE IN THEUSA ANYMORE IT HAS TO BE MADE IN CHINA. I NEVER INTEND TO BUY ANOUTHER MARTIN REEL. THER IS NOTHING WRONG WITH AMAZON.COM THEY DID WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO. SHIPPED ON TIME ECT.

If you get tired of fly fishing you might use it as a boat anchor.,

I have a twenty-five year old Perrine automatic fly reel which weighs an
acceptable eight and a quarter ounces. These Martins are over ten, and for
what practicle reason? So these chimpanzees can armor plate the reel. Why
can't these knuckle heads turn out a decent product at under eight ounces
for crying out loud. They need a stainless steel web body, covered in a
miraculously brand new material, called this, Graphite. What's their
problem. There are other materials to use but jeez, do I have to send them a blueprint. Think lighter, goofballs, lighter. I don't want anything
of over ten ounces on my fly rods. What the heck is your problem, Martin.
