Pippen: yes, I replied to that post but the fellow isn't responding….maybe sold but I don't know. r.s. Thanks for the link…but prefer an MR2 with the free spool.
Thanks to both of you for the help.

But but but ....what about the large arbor for when a fish runs at you
Just kidding.. to each their own... both reels have their pros and cons.
Try with http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/New-and-Used-fishing-Reels-for-sale_23587866 It worth to try to ask him if he has some left MR2 or MR3 and other mooching reels are top.
I visited his house, he has couples of MR2 or MR3. The reels are excellent in conditions and look new.

mr2 large arbor I think they been on sale quite a bit over the holidays at cabelas etc. I got into mr3 just before they mr2 large arbors came out 
oh well either way never been in the islander club and wanted to step it up and treat myself. I haven't run into the issues ppl have mentioned with the mr3's ie. line creep. But hey they're new so who knows maybe it will happen this season here's to hoping not.

I just replaced my MR3's with the new MR2LA's (large Arbor) so far I really like them,But but but ....what about the large arbor for when a fish runs at you

so much smoother then the MR3 in my opinion

Haha I didn't want to be the one to burst their bubble, but the mr2la does have the same diameter as the original mr2 so there is no increase in line pickeup speed when compared to an original mr2 that was spooled full with backing.
At least that is my understanding.

Thanks to all of you for the help and to those who PM'ed me. I will have to wait on the LA model will have to wait until its second hand…..though that would be nice. Hopefully my search will end soon.

When with the Hardy 12000 sds reel this year. 13" of line per crank. 5 1/4 spool. Not sure if this will replace the Colton but I might have an islander for sale.
