Nah not true Majority of Cabelas reels are made by other companies for Example the There WLx is a join venture with Lamson, There Watershed reels was made by Ross,(Ross Rhythm Reel) Even Okuma made some of there reels at one point.
Like all products there tiers in there product line bottom tier reels are made at some factory in China but then again I think like 75 percent of all reels are made in China ....
Any how if your looking for a inexpensive reel the orivs rocky mtn reel is 29 bucks decent reel for 29 bucks
If you want a Cabelas reel the Prestige Premier is a good reel, sealed drag system like the Lamsons ( Not the prestige plus thats a crap reel )
but if you looking in the 100 range FFlover is correct that Allen Trout reel is pretty sweet. The Orivs Battenkill & Ross Fly Rise reels are also in that price range
The Flyrise drag system is identical to its 300 dollar cousin Ross Evolution and the evolution is a kick ass reel.
Ebay has the 1st generation Lamson Konics going for around 50 bucks
