MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
And I bought the Rapala a few weeks age at CT when it was on sale for $249.Same auger as the Eskimo Mako re-branded for Rapala or Costco as the case may be.All they same specs & parts just different colours.
quit buying stuff made in china
Do you even know what Made in USA or Made in Canada actually entails.These augers have all the same parts(made in the same place) as the Eskimo's.All that's required for Made in USA/Canada is if it's packaged or partially assembled here.Many replacement auto parts labeled made in USA/Canada are actually made in China & shipped in bulk over here to only repackaged & labeled Made in USA/Canada.I once worked at a sandpaper factory near where I live & we made lots of paper stamped made in Germany. We made the paper & they cut & packaged it.Big corporations control the government & the laws they write. If these corporations can make more money buying from China & fooling many into believing the product is fully made here all the better.
Yes many augers are rebranded by companies but you still have to watchout because often for pricepoints to get the box store business , manufacturers do cheapen out . For example your coleman stove that you buy from ctc,wally world etc,, although looking the same is not the real deal that you will get from a mom and pop shop that deals direct with coleman . As far as china . Check any of even your brand name reels and they majority wise, are china made . There are many china nockoff companies that have little quality control but many name brand companies now build there and have their own quality control in place to make sure you get a quality product . Almost impossible to find anything that doesn't have china involved in some way .
I can tell you one thing, I am NOT made in china!!! hahaha
