Re: LL Bean reels
Hi mbc,
Like Cabela's and other companies that sell branded reels the LL Bean reels are probably from overseas. That is how they offer all of those features at such a good price. I would bet that the reel that Bob Lang got seventeen years ago was made in the USA or England. Today they are made in China, Korea, or some other such country. I have not seen Bean's reels but they are probably cast or cast/machined. Reels made in the USA are machined from bar stock. Just because the reels may be made in China it doesn't mean they are not good reels for the money. So what all this means is I don't know if the Bean reels are any good or not.
