Mate I can't be 100 percent sure,but I don't think any Okuma reels are made in Sweeden,don't fret about the made in China bit,maintain the reel and it will last and serv you well,most of the Shimanos are made in Malaysia now as well.I have a TR 200 G and I'm not realy fused on it.If the CL300 L is the one I'm thinking of,blue/black graphite body about 3'' diameter with level wind,base model,Iwould prefer it to the 200G.You shouldn't be paying more than $139 for a 200G.
