They look great Lee. I almost bought a Ru (if memory serves it was a Mer) a few years ago. However, I hadn't discovered this excellent site back then and bottled it because I failed to find out anything about the maker.
I'd love top hear how they fish.

Lovely looking things, very sculptural, little works of art. Would nice to see them on a rod in-situ with a nice big perch lay along side. Thanks for showing us...

The Ru-Mer is a Salt water reel and a lot bigger than the Sport.
The Ru Reels were retailed here in the UK by Sowerbutts.

I have just the rod to put the Ru Sport on. Made by Sowerbutts it,s called the "Ru Spin"
In fact i have 2 Ru Spin,s one at 7ft and one at 8ft.
Thanks for that Lee. Don’t know why the Mer name didn’t jump out at me at the time.
Probably a good job I did bottle it. So far I’ve not felt tempted to try traditional tackle for my bass fishing. When I cover 2-3 miles of coast, casting and retrieving a lure every 10 yards or so in a 4-6 hour session, lightness really does matter!
