...------ Thanks for adding! The freshwater guys should definitely take a look - they have some products that don't break the bank.

I have older Penn reels that were made in the good ol USA. In my opinion these reels were built to last forever. I recently dug one of my father's old ones up and took it apart, cleaned every part, lubed, and assembled the reel and it now closely looks and works like a new one out of the box. The only difference is this one was made in 1965. It does have a few scuffs but they hardly show. I was so impressed that I purchased 3 more from a gentleman that rebuilds old reels. He is thorough, lives in Texas, and treats the reels he works on the same way I do. I now have 4 surf, trolling, and bank rods that I know will hold up to everything I intend to throw at em. Penn #9, #109, & two #209s. I love em!! ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/50kYXsKP/20201007-135721-199.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/7LCBWR84/Penn-reels.jpg)

Avet reels are made in the USA. I have one on my lighter surf rod, and it'll cast a mile. It's a lever drag reel, which I'd never owned, but that I now love. Accurate (ref'd above) also make their own reels in the USA. Seigler (ref'd above) make their reels in the USA, they come with a lifetime warranty, but they're newer on the market. Penn makes the Senator series here, I think.
For spinning reels, I think the Penn Torque is made here. Older Van Staals are as well. And I just learned about IRT reels ( https://irtreels.com/). All of these options are quite pricey. Only the Senators and Internationals are made in they Philly plant. The rest of their lineup is made in China

Will do.. if I can remember, depending on how long it takes. I may have forgotten all about it if it takes a year!

...------ Most of the components come from china. I guess if you make a part or two here and put it together here you can call it made in the USA.
