Good, maybe Orvis can learn how to manufacture an American made reel insteading of over-charging for a Korean made one. Hopefully Ross does not get destroyed.

Sounds like Orvis may be attempting to polish a turd.

They sell Sci Angler at Wal-Mart..my first fly box was from there..I still have it..waterproof and all....I can even see through the lid, so I don't have to open it until I make my decision...Great for hackled dry flies as the lid is bubbled and the foam is slotted...no crushed hackle...I am a fan of that fly box, but most if the stuff I have seen from them is smart, but poorly made......

Means all Ross reels will be made in China.
I guess there goes he military discount on Ross and scientific anglers.
