My package came in yesterday with a new Wally Marshall Mr. Crappie Slab Shaker reel. It is nice and I do like it, but there was a big sticker on it that said Made In China. Last Spring I ordered and received two ultra light rods from B&M - same thing. My grandfather and dad would roll over in their graves if they knew I did this. I realize it's a part of during business and making a profit, the almighty dollar sign. Just bothers me that's all. Enough said.
