I was on the bay looking for US built Eagle Claws and stumbled on an Italian-built ECO, smallest of the 8 of Eagle Claw's "Mediterranean" line, circa 1970. It should arrive in about a week, I'll be curious to compare it to my Alcedo Micron.

Reputation says they are nice reels, with all the shortcomings (few spare parts; a few out of the ordinary disassembly procedures, etc.) that some of those old Italian built reels had.

Frank, we're going to soon find out.  :d

Those EC's are high quality reels rebadged and supplied as "trade reels" to Eagle Claw by Offmer, of Italy.

Solid and good quality reels.
