| I've been using an EXT for a month or so now and so far I compare it very much to a Morrum plus it has a magnetic brake. For musky fishin most people will want to go with the 6600EXT which has a wider spool and a synchronized level wind. |

Location: ohio | thanks for the post, on their (abu's) web page they never had the 6600 listed, but i'm glad they make one, like you said for more line capacity. i agree |

Location: Black Creek, WI | How will the EXT compare to the Luna? Heck... how do they compare to the old Morrums? What is different about them?
I'm a Morrum Fan.... and wanna know if the EXT will suffice... or if the Luna I ordered will convert me over to the other side. |

| The EXT is very much like the Morrum with the addition of magnetic brakes. I do not find magnetic brakes neccessary on a musky reel but some people do. The featur I like on the EXT and the Morrum is that the thumb bar pushes straight down, they don't pivot. I just find this easier to use when free spooling on a figure 8. |
