Title: New Reel?
Post by: curtdiesel on June 14, 2021, 01:10:50 PM: I have been looking for a new reel made in the USA, North America, Europe or Japan. I have a nice made in Sweden reel for Salmon but want to find a nice low profile casting reel and a good spinning reel possibly too. Is there anything out there anymore? It seems like everything has moved to China.

Thanks,

Curt

Shimano is made in Japan and are the go-to for sure. Shimano Curado is a great low profile baitcaster for the price. The Chronarch is an upgrade. The Stradic CI4+, NASCI, or Sahara are great spinners.

I’m pretty sure lews reels are made in Korea and China.

They are made in Korea.
I have switched over to Lew’s bait casters and Pflueger for spinning. I actually like them better than my Shimanos and I was sponsored by them (36 years sgo) 🤣

Whoops! After fact checking I definitely missed that. They are made in Korea and the cheaper ones possibly in China.
