No reel worship here, just advocacy for a tool that gets the job done nicely on a pretty wide range of fish.
Within it's class of similarly designed reels the Islander's are priced pretty competitively.
Islander MR3 $599.00


Tibor Pate's $550.00


Abel Super series $660.00


Nod to the Tibor Spey, up to $900.00



Sure these reels suit varying purposes, but the materials & workmanship are very similar.
