Does any one have any experience with these reels?  No stores around have them so,  I can't check them out.  Any input?

    I have two.  I have the EXT Pros.  They are Abu's latest domestic incarnation of the Morrum reel.  They are fantastic reels.   The magnetic brakes on mine are more effective than the brakes on my Revos.  They cast light baits very well, again, better than my Revos.   I have mine on BPS Pro Qualifier 7' mediums that I use for crankbaits.    I haven't gotten the chance to fish them a lot, but I've been practicing with them quite a bit and they cast really, really well.

    I bought them at a local hunting/fishing store called Green Top in Richmond, Virginia.

    Are they nicer than the Records and does anyone know where you can get on online?

    It is a step up from the Records.  

    There's an Abu video on the EXT on You Tube:

    You can Google up retailers.
