Van Staal [SIZE="1"]made in china[/SIZE]

I emailed them asking if the reel was manufactured in the USA or not and if not, what serial number represents the switch.

For whatever it is worth, here is their response;

All reels are being manufactured in the US today. However, we utilize many of the manufacturing facilities around the world to improve product quality and our technological advantage.

I can not give you serial numbers because the change has not been made.
