Shimano Stradic Advice
Hey guys, can anyone tell me if the new Shimano Stradic FJ series is still made in japan or have they shifted production to Malaysia like a lot of there other reels. Looking to get a 6000 but will depend where it is made. I don't know if anyone has picked up one of the Curado G's that are now made in malaysia.... Just don't seem to have the same finish to it.

as with the stradics the fi's are made in malaysia so i would think that the new fj's are also.
