No Nike, NFL, NBA, MLB, or any others of their ilk.

Be careful buying anything. Alot of things that was made in USA in now made in foreign countries or owned by them. If you see USA make sure it doesn't say assembled in USA or you'll be buy a foreign product by proxy. 👍

That was long before Pure fishing bought Stren Charlie.
Fred, Thanks for pointing that out. There are a bunch of brands on the Pure list that for one reason or other are my preference.

Not a brand, but a retailer, Dick's. I was highly insulted with their references and innuendos that were used when they chose to stop selling firearms and ammo. Never again, and they were my go to store for fishing reels.

Orvis. Stuff for the “well dressed” fly fisherman going to Montana. Save your money: dye your T-shirts dark green and throw away all that day-glo crap.
Trude... Welcome, and thanx for the comment... I think you're going to be a good fit here. nutz4fish

Good choice, good reason. I never bought a thing from them anyway, overpriced to the point of ridiculousness mainly due to , I suspect , the $$'s paid out to sports and celebrity endorsers. That never impressed me in the least except for Ted Williams. War veteran and real outdoorsman, not some phony from Hollywood.
