I haven't been on the boards too much lately, so maybe this is old.  But the the JDM Abus are looking really good...

Revo Neos

Revo Elite IB

I like that elite!

dang those JDM reels are badass.  Wish I have loads of cash man.

I will own that Elite!

good to see you back , Rowland 

did you check out that salty stage's spool , looks like it doesn't hold much line !!!  :-?

Here is a pick of the new toro.... the inshore has the same new look too... they will probably make it state side this fall

Those reels look awesome!!!! But I would wager that they are japan release only.

Not necessarily. The Revo Aurora and Akatsuki were also available in Europe and Australia. Technically, U.S. dealers can get them if they order enough through Pure Fishing's international sales dept. People pregnant dog and moan about the cost of tackle here already. What incentive do vendors have to purchase the high line stuff?

I found that out in through their customer service dept.  I bought a few of the Japanese Morrum reels through a U.S. dealer who knew about the international sales dept.

I like the Aurora too but I'm not paying 10% in air because they are playing around with the U.S. currency.

so it is meant for braid , but it still doesn't look to hold much unless you were using 20 lb. and under .

Those are pretty reels. The elite looks like a revo sx in graphite color.

did any one notice the layered carbon fiber handle on th elite !! if you scroll down the page they have pflueger jdm's on their too , and their carbon fiber handles look almost like Bassart handles !!!!
