Old Mariner Innovation Forked Design to Eliminate Spool Flex Low Inertia Spool Fully Sealed Drag Palmable Spool Industrial Strength Construction What Makes Old Mariner Reels Different? The design of an old mariner reel is a whole new concept infly fishing. After 60 years of making standard fly reels, with numerous Innovationsalong the way, it has always been known that a standard fly reel has a commonflaw, SPOOL FLEX. Spool flex occurs under load, wearing drags, making drags"sticky", And wearing weak spots in bearings. Most reels are not made truly to Lasta lifetime. In the past, extremely strong fly reels are very heavy. As reelshave become lighter, they also have become weaker. If you Can crush a spool inyour hand, what happens in a fight with a Lifetime fish? When line is installed on a reel, it&';s installed with a backand forth motion, from side to side. It is done under pressure from the line winder,or even by hand. When fighting a fish, this same pressure will occur, and linecomes off the spool back and forth, like it was Initially installed. Whenretrieving line, you do the same thing. The object is to get the line on thereel, flat. In doing this, you are creating spool flex and uneven wear. Maybeyou don&';t realize it but you are wearing drags and bearings, while creating anduneven feel of drag. Conventional reels have a spool shaft supported on one side (housing)with a great deal of weight extended past the shaft length (spool). There is nosupport. Axles like this usually have spring support, like an automobile. Oldmariner reels have a "fork" design, eliminating spool flex while creating thesmoothest drag you have ever felt. Still able to "palm" The reel, there are nofancy bells and whistles. There is nothing to go Wrong.
