The Marryat CMR Reel

The Reel You’ve Been Waiting For.
It could be the quality of the materials. Or the Swiss-precision manufacturing. It might be the world-famous Marryat engineering. Or perhaps it’s the many years of fishing experience that went into it. Whatever the reason, when you pick up this reel, you know right away, it’s something special.


CMR Disc Brake, Drive Cassette and Clicker easily set for right or left hand use.
It’s Built to Please.
With its world-famous Marryat "disc-brake" system, the CMR lets you set exactly the amount of drag you want - from 0 to 25 ounces. Our "quick-change" mechanism lets you change spools with a mere flick of a finger. And the exposed palming rims give you the added control you need to land even the most determined fish. The anodized finish - whether gold, bronze or black - makes the CMR equally at home in saltwater as it is in a pristine mountain stream. You can also choose between two modes of audible operation - click out/ silent in, or completely silent. And the sealed drive cassette will never, ever, need maintenance.

It’s Built to Perform.
When you’re fishing, the last thing you want to have to pay attention to is your reel. So Marryat crafts the CMR with the same machines and tolerances (.0003") used to manufacture Swiss watches. And every reel is made from the highest quality, bar-stock, aircraft aluminum, then anodized for durability. Which is why the CMR gives you such a smooth, durable action and superior line capacity - yet is still one of the lightest reels you can find anywhere. And it’s also why the CMR comes with an unlimited, lifetime warranty.

And it’s Built to Last.
Marryat not only makes their reels for peak performance and minimum weight - they make them to endure. To make sure it would stand up to the most rigorous conditions, they put the new CMR through a few rather demanding tests. First they pulled line off the reel at 8,210 RPM for 30 seconds straight. - there was absolutely no wear visible on the shaft or the cassette. They left the cassette in saltwater for four days. They put it in river gravel and stirred 50 times. Then they did the same in lake sand. They left the cassette in the wet sand overnight, and stirred again. For good measure, they let it sit underwater for yet another night. After cleaning the cassette with a cloth and blowing it off with compressed air, they put it back in the reel - and it worked perfectly. Now that’s what you call durability.

But its Price May Be the Best Feature.
While it offers the looks, features and feel of more expensive reels, you’ll find the CMR surprisingly affordable. Because at Marryat, they feel that every serious fisherman deserves a finely crafted reel.

Offered in black, gold and bronze corrosion proof finishes, the CMR is equally at home on fresh or salt water.
