Main reason to buy American made...
Yesterday on my day off I went surf fishing with my grandfather. I live close to the jersey shore and we go striper fishing every Wed. I hooked into what had felt like the biggest striper I had ever caught. I fought it for about 20 min. then I hought the line broke I reeled it in and the snap swivel had broken. I have been fishing all of my life and so has my grandfather and neither of us have ever seen that happen. I check the package... Made In Japan!
It reminded me of the conversation on the forum.
