Are these reels still manufactured in Japan?
B models, not D.

So you cant know for certain until you buy it and look under the reel foot?

Because it says Japan/Malaysia on reel foot doesn't mean entire reel was produced there.

Thanks!
One more question. What are your thoughts on the 200GTB Calcutta? I cant get my hands on one because no one stocks it near me.
Better off with 200D

Shocked you would prefer the D over the 200GTB. I for one opted for the 200GTB over the D. Solid old skool construction. Its all you would need in a round reel, and smooth to boot. Plus, the drag star is way easier to adjust on the fly. Never understood what Shimano was thinking with the Ds build.
D is far superior mechanically and the "one piece" frame is a brute, it's really to each their own, there is no right or wrong, just strong or stronger. Dan
