Considering I've been way out in Left Field for awhile, I thought I'd toss the ball back to the infield and see what plays out. Here's the question...Has "anyone" run into one of these? FROG PRODUCTS LTD. / Toy-Machine Zero, 001, 002, 033 or any other version they've produced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkBukVr_8O0
Truly appears they have a knack for copying Bronson and/or ABU and spitting out some "quality look alikes". I saw these a few years back and they stuck with me. So, does anyone have any knowlege or insight on this Company and/or these reels? Just a "left-field" question. Oh and, Hi There Guys and Gals !!! Any knowledge would be appreciated.

Ya and they've done copies of some of the higher-end ABU's also. Same type translucent color schemes.
Crazy thing is.....these go from $500 and up.

Hey Rick! Just thinking of you yesterday! Glad you are still topside!
Those reels are incredible! I guess the price tag is why you don’t see them all over the place… first one i have seen!
