Is this reel made in Japan?

I don't know. I would worry more if it was made in India or China. Our American companies have moved to China, and Japan, but they are still American products. Just manufactured over there. It is a good reel, so don't hesitate to buy it.

Does it matter in a " world economy" where many parts of any product may come from different regions! It's an awesome piece of fishing hardware and if you're a serious fisher person, it will complement your arsenal! "Fish on!"

It is made in Japan. There is a video on youtube about how they do it. I love mine!

Yes, it is. It is produced by Fuji Cutlery, fairly large factory of Fujitora Industries, which was established after the war, in 1953 as Fujitora Industries, in the city Tsubame, in the west central prefecture of Niigata. They started out making farm equipment, I believe.

Yes, it has "Japan" printed on the side of the pencil on the metal clip, and says "made in Japan" on the box [which is printed mostly in Japanese] Hope that helps,

Yes, it is made in Japan. I bought two in 1993 and when they I need to replace them 15 years later, I couldn't find them. I'm prepared this time, I have 3!

I bought one less than a year ago, and mine was made in Japan, it probably still is. It is wonderful, I wouldn't be without one.

No, China which disappointed me. I believe the more expensive model is made in Japan.

I'm sure mine was made in Japan, do not know if they are made elsewhere now. Very well built.

Mine says assembled in the Phillipines. I would guess that means parts come from someplace else (probably China, maybe Japan), but no it does not say Made in Japan. That being said, I have been thrilled with the performance after some nice camping trips to Yellowstone, Tetons, Badlands, Colorado, etc. (E.g. I've been using it, in various weather and conditions, without a hitch).

Mine is made in Japan and I ordered it via Amazon. I'm guessing all of these would be, but I'm not 100% sure.

It stated they have japanese seals. I did not check where it was made but I can say they work pretty well and seemed very sturdy and also have lifetime warranty. Dont be sfraid to buy.
