Heck, none of my favorite reels are truly made in the USA.
Just got home today off the boat. Had a new US 230XL spinning reel waiting for me when I got home. Looked on the base of the reel and what do I see. A sticker that says made in China! Ain't that some crap. Thought I was buy'n a reel made in the US.

If you had time to research the problem, you would find that manufacturers of fishing equip. don't use China because they want to. The problem does not stem from profit margins only, but because our technology and labor incentives have been farmed out by our government. We can hardly find enough sources to do it here and are burdened by extra cost and time if we try.
US Reel is one of the finest companies in the industry today with a great product that supports many people right here in the USA. Most components are manufactured here!
Please don't hesitate to give them a try, You'll love them.....I use them 320 days a year!
Let's go Fishin'
Most rods and reels under $100 are made in China or some other foreign company. That's why they're as cheap as they are.
Look at Ardent Reels! :D
You know what always got to me was every time we had a disaster where people wanted to show support and have the American Flag, you could not get enough to get to everyone here in the US. However they were burning them by the thousands in other countries. Our own flags for the most part are not even made here.
