Made In China

[Buzz]

Anything is worth a try for $30, especially if you're going to buy a lot more of them. The Chinese don't have the same regard for patent and intellectual property law that we do. I have friends who work for a very large retailer who shall remain unnamed who go to China occasionally with blank check authority that's nine digits long before the decimal point, the purpose of their trip being to basically start a new factory to produce cheap products, like a 1$ toothbrush or travel cosmetic bottles. They say this kind of stuff China is well suited for, but they're reluctant to shop more expensive products there. Reason being, the folks that run the factories will get their buddy to start making the same product - lock stock and barrel.

So my first thought is that the reels may be identical to what you're used to buying that's manufactured over there - same quality and all. Or, they could be a cheap knock off that won't perform worth a darn. But I'd think you would be able to tell pretty easily with just a little use. For $30, give it a shot and see what you get. You might find the motherload.

Well, I pulled the trigger. Now it's just a matter of a couple of weeks until it gets here.

I've been fleabaying for 17yrs.

The seller has 99.1% feedback percentage which is really good.

Over 500 of those reels sold and counting.

I didn't see any negative feedback left recently about the reel either.

I looked at all of that too. The only negatives I found were concerning electronics. Now it's just a matter of time. I can handle a $30.00 loss if it's a POC, but if it's a good reel I'll be happy.
