    Not sure about that one Gibo. My Big baitrunner reel is made in Malaysia, and every shimma rod I have had has been labeled Chinese.
    Okuma are built in Taiwan I believe, and supposedly have very good qual control

    I would have but already out with another mate. We had planned to take my parents fishing at Durville but north of Delaware there was a big sea. Made do with trolling for Kingis.

    Now I have trim tabs to fix on my own boat, steamed home from Delaware yesterday with both stuck fully down. ............................... never bloody ends at the moment

    Only caught them in the river mouth, so mostly salt, unless we had big rain events, in which case the fishing turned to crap
