All good points and there's a lot of merit in what were all saying. I still think the first generation of 7000HS and HSN reels were "Made In Sweden", just like some of the older generation 7000s were before manufacturing was moved to different locations in Asia. In fact, I remember seeing them for sale on a Pure Fishing web-site and they had them on clearance around the time that the next generation of Asian made (Assembled in Sweden or made in Taiwan) 7000HS and HSNs were introduced.

Regarding the Italic script on the black "Big Game Collection" reels. Yep, that's changed too.

At the end of the day, it probably doesn't make a bit of difference where the reels are made so long as the reels meet the high quality Abu specifications.
