Comments about Martin Fly Fishing Martin Mohawk River Multiplier MR72 Fly Reel:
I wanted to use this reel for trolling.The tolerances between the spool and casing would not allow me to use it like my older 72's. Line would fall between the spool and the sides. The tollerences in construction are very poor.The new spool removal system is worthless. The reel as a whole is not what I expect of the Martin Co.

Comments about Martin Fly Fishing Martin Mohawk River Multiplier MR72 Fly Reel:
Bought this reel to use trolling flies, Teamed it up with a LL Bean Trolling Fly Rod. It works, the drag is one directional, and to get line out you need to release the drag fully to get a good fluid pull while casting, then reset the drag after letting the line you need out. It is heavy, the fish alert click system is a small plastic knob that rotates, looks like it should slide but it doesn't. I would say that I would compare this to a Pflueger Medalist as far as fit and finish, but feel that even at the low price from FishUSA it's still overpriced by $20-$30.

Comments about Martin Fly Fishing Martin Mohawk River Multiplier MR72 Fly Reel:
If you are a fly fishermen like myself you cannot beat this product. I have used this type of reel from Martin for over 20 years. My last Martin reel i purchased was over 20 years ago and believe me it still works but i thought it was time for another. Please give it a try and you won't be disappointed.

Comments about Martin Fly Fishing Martin Mohawk River Multiplier MR72 Fly Reel:
This has alot of potential, the handle shaft
where it meets the spool gear inside has way to much play between them i had to put a plastic sleeve over the shaft to get it to spin true,
other wise the pool would tilt while cranking and bind against the frame and lock up tight ,i hope it is just mine because i would like to purchase another. Inspect yourself before purchase.
