I'm not sure if it's been posted before but you get at least 15-20 guys together, you can do a factory visit of their plant, I went on one last year, it's a very impressive operations. They make just about everything there, even the screws and only a few small stuff from an outside source.

It was cool to watch them CNC the main reel body. They are very receptive to your voice and concerns. You can even watch the assembly section inside the cages.

Bring your reels there, and they'll even service them for you. Great free raffle prizes (reels and rods), T-shirts, catalogs, etc. I've heard the last two tours, they still provide a nice lunch spread, eat a light breakfast.

Plus Harry keeps his boat inside the warehouse, that's a nice rig!! They're located in Chatsworth, CA (San Fernando Valley).
