I wouldn't go for the AMR2, it is the same as the mr2 except it works sort of like a level wind, it releases line without having to spin the handles. It would take the fun out of playing fish i think, no more knuckle busters. if i were you, i'd go for the mr3, sounds similar to the mr2 but has a wider base so it retrieves line faster and i've heard it has a better drag system too. the only thing i noticed about the mr3 is that it has no release on it. but who really uses that release thing anyways. but the thing is, i've never used either reel cause they are so expensive, so i guess my opinion is sort of limited. anyways, happy fishing,
