By the way, with the larger arbor on the MR3, completely filled with line ( we're talking +/- 500 yards of 20# test) I can retreive line *almost* as fast as my buddies with a 5:1 or 6:1 reel.

With a single action, Sometimes you have to seriously bust balls to catch up to a fish coming at you.... but that is what adds to the excitement IMO.
