Hello everyone,
I've just started researching new reels for the first time in a long time. I've looked at Orvis, Ross, Galvin, Lamson, etc.
But I have noticed a "But it's made in China" as that were the killer. So are Apple products, and Microsoft products, etc.
I own:
Lamson
Hardy (Old collection from friend)
Ross (Big one)
Ross Flystart 1
Pflueger (old metal one in pristine conditions, 4")
Orvis CFO, green.
ARgus - NOTE: this is a small reel for a 3-5 line. it has, by far, the best drag of all the above reels except the Ross & Lamson. Got it as a package for my son's 1rst rod 2 yrs. ago.
I don't know which ones were made in china. Surely the ARgus was. Hardy, no, Old Pflueger, no, CFO, no (says made in England)
But what is the beef with Chinese made products, i.e. quality. Not patriotism, please. Let's stick with quality. I'm pretty sure most of Orvis stuff is made there. Most of Orvis I like. So, where's the beef? Are they truly inferior or is it xenophobia?
Thanks,
Dennis
p.s. Let's keep it civil, please.
