For those of us who are interested, All Abu Garcia, including Ambassadeur reels, are now made in China. Shimano and G. Loomis rods are also being made in China
since 2006. The good quality USA made bait casting reel today is the Ardent , an excellent product. Lamiglas rods are USA made and the pro series is equal to G. Loomis, in my opinion. The combination of Lamiglas pro series graphite rod and Ardent reel is about $400.
