When all is said & done, 90% of quality reels are made in a few factories and badged under various Trade Marks. There are a few changes that trade marques make in the manufacturing process that identifies their model as the only one to purchase. This process is to protect their price but does not change the fact that these are all made in only a few factories.
We at Sharnbrook Tackle have tracked down the manufacturers and if we paid a premium in order quantities, would also have the same product with our logo imprinted on the reel. This did not appeal to us as the cost of the reel would far exceed value for money for the end user - you.
These reels are of the highest quality materials using billet aircraft aluminium and stainless steel pression CNC gears and completed with High Tec Carbon Fibre braking system plates that will stop a Marlin in its tracks - not to mention Blue Fin Tuna.
