You will find copy cats that are made 100% in China. The truth is, in order to protect Canyon and the sneaky back stabbing that happens in this business, when it all started we ( yes, I was a part of Canyon for the first 2 years) made a strategic move to use other parts and do the final assembly here in NJ, in our shops, homes, garages, etc.... to protect the product. As you all see, you can buy a reel that looks like a Canyon for less money, but its going to most likely fail and not last as long or perform as well as the Canyon product. I knew this would happen going in and we decided to protect ourselves from people who will sell out for an extra buck. We also found superior parts from other manufacturers that worked better, so it was no brainer to modify the OEM reels.
CANYON HAS NEVER CLAIMED TO BE MADE IN THE USA!!! THEY HAVE ALWAYS CLAIMED TO BE ASSEMBLED IN THE USA! Some people like to twist that, as they hide behind a screen name. As I have told Don many times.....if people are trying to hurt you, it means you have done something right!

JC, I was one of those who questioned Canyon a year or two ago.
I see that you are still claiming Canyon is assembled in the U.S. with different internals which makes it far superior than the cheap Chinese knockoffs.
When you initially came to Canyon's rescue, you seemed like a legit guy and I tried my best to believe you.
However, as a frugal buyer, I always do my homework to make sure I am not wasting my hard earned money on garbage.
Unfortunately, the more I looked around, it seemed very obvious Canyon was not 100% honest about their product.
Nothing angers me more than dishonesty.
Here is a little reading material. Just one of few I found.

Now, before you attempt to discredit Alan, note that he's making his claim based on fact and hard data to prove. What have you got besides your same old story?
I am just not sure if you were misinformed, or you are in it together with Canyon, but I suggest you do some research before standing up for a company such as Canyon, as it could taint your reputation.
By the way, since you are so paranoid with competitors trying to hurt Canyon while hiding behine a screen name, my name is Jo J, not associated with any tacke mfg, and if you wanna meet me in person, you'll find me bottom fishing on various sponsor boats as well as tuna/tile fishing on Voyager and Big J. Wish I could stop by the booth this weekend, but can't make it there this week due to other arrangements. And no, I'm not afraid to show my ugly mug..
