Many of you guys know there are little groups in this biz. Anybody with 1/2 brain can see who is who. A simple history search will often catch these guys with an agenda. Anybody who tells you that their product is the best ..... is just trying to sell you something. We only get to see a small fraction of the gear made. Other parts of the world have access to things we do not. How can you compare a product with something you have never used?
After the last 4 or 5 years.... Canyon would have been out of biz if the reels were the OEM version without the changes.
Is Canyon the best out there? The worst? Or maybe a good reel with good service? That's all a matter of opinion. Just like any other reel, rod, lure,hook . .. it's all up to the user.
Hell... This season we will be offering combos with the Penn SSV for jigging and popping, as well as the Canyons. It's about choices. ... we try to weed out the trouble items for our customers and give them a choice if the products that are good, from our experience.
I was a part of Canyon in the early days. Be happy to answer what I can for anybody.

Thank you for your reply. I am not sure if it is directed at me, but I apologize for linking that post. It is obvious I upset you, which clearly are not my intentions. I do not have an agenda nor do I belong to a little group you speak of. I am just a regular guy who saw the reel at the show, and did some research about it. And the reason I decided to hold off and do some research is because the guy at the kiosk was selling it so hard.
I personally do not like to buy things from China, but understand for some items it is hard, even impossible. If I have the opportunity to buy American, I will do so whenever I can.
To be honest, there are not many American made spinning reels in this price range. I will probably be forced to go with either this Canyon, a Quantum Boca or maybe a Shimano Stradic.
