At least in Japan, anyways.   This may become my first JDM reel.

If it is yen then it will run about 465

Micro,

I thought you were 'done' with round baitcasters?  What specifically catches your eye with the Morrum?

Great looking reel, no doubt.

"Done" doesn't necessarily last that long.

That may very well be the ugliest reel I've ever seen.

Gotcha. I can relate to that..

Yeah, it isn't a Shimano :

Not bad lookin' for a round reel, but looking at that handle assembley....I bet it rolls downt he same assembly line as the Pfluegurs and Revos.  Abu is Swedish no more I'm afraid....

I think I'd stick with Ebay and buying the original Swedish made ones.  You can easily find them in outstanding condition for $200 or less.

Maybe, maybe not. My Swedish made Morrum Ultra Mags had those handle knobs well before the Revos were out.  Let's hope that for that much coin they will be made in Sweden.
