I think it's a Korean company.
With reels you usually get what you pay for.
Good luck.
On a related topic- I checked out some top-end Okuma reels at the Fishing Show. You could hear grinding noises when you turned the handles.

CCB,you right about the Okumas.they claim to have 8 or 10 bearings and probably have them too.but the number of bearings in a reel has nothing to do with the quality of that reel.a good quality reel even with 3 or 4 bearings will stay smooth and last a lifetime.

Seabass, never heard of that brand of reel.
Thanks, Dad, for taking me fishing when I was a kid.
