ARDENT outdoors REALLY USA?!?

[mpstacy]

so why is ardent outdoors claiming to be American made if the are importing parts to make the "American" made reels and why are they importing Chinese reels under the name of EVER CAST?! The EVER CAST reels are made with better quality than the "AMERICAN" reels but are backed by ardent for 1 year hmm somethings fishy about the whole "MADE IN AMERICA" i think that needs to be looked into!

Ardent is made in the USA and all components in anything with the name Ardent is 100% produced in the States. The Evercast is a brand from Avid Angler which is an import company that is affiliated with Ardent. They realized that they couldn't sell $200 college reels so they decided to keep the idea and not let some other foreign manufacture take the idea from them and start an import company to offer the lower priced reels. Hope this clarifies your questions!!!
