I THINK
when Pure Fishing took over Mitchell in @ 2000 they tried to get a market share in Regular Fishing Reels and had that line made in Taiwan and Korea. I have seen a few on E-bay over the years and some Spinning Reels with ORCA on them but apparently they did not set the market on fire .
I found a schematic on the one you inquire about on Mikes and it looks quite similar to many of the Asian knock off's of  early 2000.

Yep, I knew a guy the 80 size spinner, maybe even in the late 90's.  I recall the line being in BPS catalog.
