I know Lots of products are made in China these Days.I understand it..Doesn't mean I fully like it.
Im kinda looking around on the internet on the whole breakdown of this.
All the ,lets say older Diawa, Shimano that were made in Japan were bulkier, heavier and have a 5.4 .1 gear ratio..I have some and won't use them..
To get a Japan or Korean made reel one has to pay $ 150.00 and up it seems like..
Still looking around..
