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.



I have MR2's and MR3's, I have grown to love the MR3 over the MR2. I like the simplicity and with the larger arbor it retrieves much faster than the MR2. It's really a simple fantastic reel. Turn the drag knob and your in business. Want to let line out without turning the drag knob just turn the arbor backwards I love them. Fished on a 11 or 12' moocher they are the cat's ass.
