I purchased a TDA 4000 spinning reel last year also made in Thailand and no problems so far, Lovin' it.
they aren't made in some back street market stall. it is a full on factory using the japanese machinery, moulds, jigs, practises etc, etc etc.....its only the cheap labour that is different. They still are made to a specific tolerance.....that said, if it aint made in japan......i'd rather spend a bit more coin for a model that is. maybe thats just me.
As far as i understand, the gear sets for ALL daiwas are made in the same factory in Tokyo.
Cheers Roo.
