I did see some nice looking reels from US Reel. But the salesmen were not too informed on what they were selling. They were not sure if they were good for saltwater, but they did say they had a 3 year warranty. I asked if saltwater damaged the reel, would they warranty it and they didn't know.
I also asked where it was manufactured, they said China. I asked why is it called US Reel? They didn't know and got nervous about that question.
They had a nice design, but were a little too heavy feeling and the better ones were a little too bulky. They didn't have any mounted on rods, so that didn't make it any better for them.
I will stick with Shimano for now.
