Not as far as I know. Not in red, anyway.

There was an older Red 7001, and I assume it was made in Sweden. It had the bushings not bearings.

Chris:

What do you mean by "old". Made in Sweden Old or just from a certain period while they were Made In Sweden ?

I'm pretty sure they made the 7001s (In Sweden) for a while, but I don't know how far back they go or if they were the "late model" made in Sweden reels. I've seen the 7000s in Red (older version), Brighter Red (later version) and Maroon (mid-old version), -all Made In Sweden and I think the 7001s were manufactured at some point in the newer versions before they were Made in Asia.

I just can't be 100% certain.

Assembled yes. Manufactured no. Parts came from various Asian locations.

Thanks for the replies everyone, I thought the 7001's dated back further
