Does any body on this forum own either a Fladen 555, 666 or 777 reel. I have heard that they are of good quality as they are Swedish made, apparently in the old Abu factory using their tooling. I was thinking of getting a Fladen 555 for boat fishing and matching it with 20lb Whiplash or Fireline. Does anybody have experience of this reel or could possibly comment on its performance?
Cheers

I had heard good things about them. I like my new Shimano Tekota 500lc, but am less than impressed with the 'Made in Taiwan' Abu 7000C3 i bought altough it was cheap in the sales.
