| Is there anybody who uses one of the following ABU reels?
- EON 3600 Pro or EON 3601 Pro
- Morrum SX 3600C IVCB or Morrum SX 3601C IVCB
What do you think of these reels? Do the perform well for you?
What are the biggest/heaviest lures you throw with these reels?
Is it possible to throw lures up to 3oz. with these reels without damaging them? |

Location: Freedom, WI | I do not have any that small (like most muskie fisherman) but, I do have a EON 6600, and a Morrum 5600. Like them both and can throw 6oz. lures as long as my arms and back can hold up. |

| I use both the Eon 3600 and the Morrum 3600IVCB. The Eon is a very nice and smooth reel regardless of all the bad press you hear about them. The IVCB is UNBELIEVABLE smooth, light, and casts a mile. But neither of these are musky reels. They could take the abuse but they can't hold enough line. Even with a 50lb. braid you would still be very limited in capacity, expesially on the IVCB. |

| We do not have muskies here in Germany. I only fish on pike. I use 8kg braided line, so I think these two reels hold up enough line.
Which reel of these two is the better one? It should work with lures from 1/2oz - 3oz! Which reel is more durable and which casts longer?
What do you think of this IVCB mechanism? |

| Hi Esox80!
Sweden calling! I think you should go with the IVCB. I have the older 3600SX and I´m very pleased with this reel, strong and durable with excellent casting performance. Are you going to fish in the Baltic Sea? I ask you because both the IVCB and Eon Pro has parts made of magnesium and thereofore they should not be used in salt och brackish water. |

| Hi Amos!
No, I am not going to fish in the Baltic Sea.
Which kind of lures do you throw with the 3600SX? Which are the lightest/heaviest?
Which line do you have on the 3600SX?
And wich rod do you use in combination with this reel? |

Location: Padova - Italy | Esox80 if you are after big pike forget these (bass) reels and jump to Abu C series or Morrum, both 5000 size.
