Yep specs are key and hard to verify. 6061 Still is the most affordable with many of the same attributes of the higher quality metals.

Yep we are 100% fine with people not liking the product or price even. Only thing we will really ever comment on or defend is mis information. We don't know of any other USA engineered low-profile reels, but we hope our existence improves other brands engineering also.

6061 aluminum was chosen for many reasons. Main reason is it is very machinable material compared to a 7075. Anything "higher end" than 6061 would be considered way overkill for a reel this size. We also extrude the aluminum prior to machining it. Once you anodize the aluminum witch, we do, it completely changes the characteristics of the cons of any metal. The bare 6061 by itself could corrode more easily once you anodize it that all changes.

Gil i am the owner operator. Not here to promote my brand just clearing up the mis information on this forum

Its ok Garroyo it can be a little confusing and many manufactures never explain, Big difference in made and assembled, If i brought all my Indvidual pieces of a reel from around the globe and assembled them in the USA legally in the USA i cannot say the product is made in the USA only assembled. Same thing goes for PRC we bring all products in globally its not made there its assembled there.

Assembled in China.

100% not made in Korea. 100% designed in the USA and sourced globally assembled in PRC.

I thought i would clear some things up since several here have zero clue what they are talking about. Not 1 single time have we ever claimed to make the reels in the USA. Infact, we spell it very clear on our website we do not. 2nd we 100% engineer our reels form ground up right her in TX USA this is our design our IP. Ill explain manufacturing for any who care to know how it works. Ford does not make the leather the tires nor the electronics in their vehicle in fact do not not physically make a single piece. The engineer and spec the vehicle and every part then outsource the individual companies to make parts for them and they do the assembly. We have outsourced the awesome team at Loongze to design a brake system for our reel the Hundo, and they are 100% the best in the business at it. Loongze uses bates frames on their reels the spell that our on their website also. We own the patents and decide who we want to sell our frames to. We hold a joint patent on the Matrix braking system We are a easy phone call away to answer questions but please dont make things up about something you know nothing about,
