An example is many Daiwa and Shimano reels that are sold in the states will not be sold in Japan….an example is the Shimano Sedona…the Japanese will not buy it so no need to try to sell it there. I use to think all gear made in China was poorly made. But I’ve found out they can make high quality gear, if that is what the order calls for.
