New jigging reel that may be available, sometime?

Apparently its a copy of an earlier reel by marfix, and perhaps ryobi did one as well. I don't really know anything about it apart from that.

Ryobi made the Marfix
Ryobi made the Marfix Laytrack BV-4.
This looks like a copy from ATC Malaysia.
What brand is it??

I brought a few ATC Jig
I brought a few ATC Jig Hunter reels to test about 3 years ago. Reel technology has changed a lot and the old design was....old! I can't see any replica or the original Marfix being able to foot it with the newer reels particularly against something like the Jigging Master PE reels.
The ATC didn't jig particularly well plus other issues. I quickly sold mine.
