that I think about it, SA probably outsources the making of the reels.
Orvis is merely a brand these days.

Hi Guys,
Gotta go with the outsourcing. When I was in South Korea from '90-'91,doing
some military stuff, I met a guy, who ended up being my fishing partner
while there, who knew a guy, who knew a guy, etc.
What resulted is that we were introduced to a rod manufacturer and a reel
manufacturer west of Seoul.
The reel manufacturer was making reels for several companies. . . SA was
one. ( at that time it was the charcoal gray kinda color with a silver
colored palming rim) And there were many different reels, for different
companies.
