You are correct, but most of their reels are now made in China and have been for the last few years. I don't believe they make the GTi anymore which was also made here in the USA, but they still make either a GT2 or GTO model and it's also made in China. The quality has really gone downhill and that's a shame. I think the only models made in the USA now are their International series but I'm not totally sure though.
