Anyone bought a new reel from Orvis?
I recently purchased a Battenkill large arbor reel. What's up with the made in China labeled box,while the illustration in the new catalog which arrived after my purchase depicts a reel labeled made in England.The web site also depicts a reel marked made in England. I would have thought that a company with such a proud tradition would not be capable of the old bait and switch. Anyone else disappointed. The quality appears to be excellent. But if I had known I would have spent the extra 30 bucks to buy a reel made in the US of A, the Lamson velocity. I suppose I should have done a little more research. Orvis sold it's factory in England to the Chinese. Do the Chinese manufacture any reels in England? |
