I heard the production of the 7000 was now in China. I have been stocking up on the 5500 and 6500 series before they move those models as well. I know the 7000 has had some bad reviews. Now we know why!
Here are the ones now made in China. There may be other models. So far, my 5500 and 6500 series reels still show Sweden.

Was wondering does it have sweden stamped on the sideplate or did they remove this?

No, all of the Korean and Chinese products say "Engineered" in Sweden.
They are all Junk and I am afraid a long tradition of excellence is on the way to the junkyard. Thanks Pure Fishing. I try very hard to not order anything from them. They have done the same thing to Penn also.

Exactly. I said I try hard NOT to buy from them. The Swedish made ones still have the parts from a plant in Sweden. I just have to buy from Pure Fishing.
