The early ones were made in Germany and are great reels. The 110 (hard to find) is a wonderful ultralight reel, the 330 is a great all around reel. Other may chime in on this, but IMO the current line of fishing reels cannot hold a candle to the early reels from the '50-'60's. The Penn reels were terrific. Extra pawls enclosed in s capped port on the reel side. I believe that many are made and shipped completed from China. I'm not sure on the Swedish ABU reels, but the ABU Garcia reels were great. You CAN still buy a great reel, but it will cost you. Check out some of the vintage reels on eBay or other sites. Great reels at bargain prices, compared to current prices for current quality reels. Tight lines! "I'm an old dog, and these are all new tricks!"

Have been using shamano spirex for years but seems shimano quality has slipped lately. Was thinking of a revo or a pflueger but have no experience with either. Thanks
