Angry Red Pig Reels : No More ?

Anyone use them yet? I read good things about this start-up in SWS, however, and curious is there is any experience out there with them.

Anyone?

What, no one? I know they're new, but someone out there must have at least seen them up close and in person.

First time hearing about them. They seem to be fairly priced.

I will have to investigate them more, and possibly test one out.

I thought there were quite reasonably priced as well, but as you know, in the class of reel, lower price often means lower quality. These guys are touting they are the real deal, and I have seen a few ads in SWS and SportFisherman about them.

Quite curious to hear if anyone field trials these.

their website [link removed]
This reel is from the same China manufacturer which made the Zelina a year ago. Good luck you all if you are going to try it out. Please keep me posted how it turns out.
