 🧠 Things to Keep in Mind

Many companies assemble reels in the U.S. using some imported parts — always check the product label or contact the manufacturer if you want 100% U.S.-made.
U.S.-made reels are generally more expensive due to labor and manufacturing costs but offer superior craftsmanship and warranties.
