I'm thinking that this belongs under the OFMER section.
Ofmer doesn't sound Italian to me. 😎

Great fishing reel.
I think the Ofmer 409 is the reel that fits the ECP.

Ofmers have quite the gearing system.  :o  I've got 25 or 30 Ofmer made reels (Eagle Claw, Pflueger, Montgomery Wards Hawthorn & Ofmers) in totes to go through one of these days when I get a little spare time.  :P They're a very high quality Italian made spinning reel that doesn't get a lot of press or respect that they deserve.  ;)

Nice to get a look at the innards of one of these reels.  I have heard the same good things Tommy mentioned about the quality of these reels; you just don't see them that often.

I got some Ofmers from the basement to show you. Really, as the previous speakers mentioned, great and relatively unknown reels made in Italy.

You can see the resemblance to Mitchell in the "sled".
