I have had an MR2 for more than 15 years. I has always operated flawlessly. in Canada I often fish two rods, usually my MR 2 on one, and typically a Shimano centre pin on the other. I find myself thinging"Shait, that fish is on the Shimano"

I convert my MR2 to a fy reel in winter. It has been perfect on tarpon, sailfish, and othewr bigguns.

Buy it, you will never regret it.
