How much of a reel at this price can be made here in the U.S.? Quite a lot as it turns out, and it’s a good mix. These high quality castings are imported, but the components critical to the drag system are CNC-machined here in the U.S. Liquid reels are assembled in Boise alongside Lamson’s highest priced reels. No other reel in their pricerange can boast this much U.S. content and quality oversight. Available in Smoke and Glacier. (Vapor color has been discontinued.)
