The end of an era

[Gfish]

The thing I like about gangsters is their honest terminology. No euphemisms. A "bust-out" is what it is. One of their many "racketeering" business practices.

Here we are, looks like Svangsta is finished and manufacturing is moving to Poland.  Svangsta will still handle administrative duties while Poland will handle manufacturing.  At least it isn't going to China

The English translation says that manufacturing has closed down and distribution is being moved to Poland.  I took that to mean that they were moving existing inventory to Poland, not setting up new manufacturing.  Hope I am wrong.

You're right.  I read it in a hurry.  Bummer.  How the mighty have fallen.

Sounds like we won't be able to order any more parts.  Is that how all of you are interpreting this?

I was in Bass Pro the other day looking at 7000 series reels and on the inside of the box lid it stated the the reels were made in China. I've been told by several sources that right now you can still get 6000 series reels and below, C-x models, that are still made in Sweden. I bought a Catfish Special C-3 6500 and it is made in Sweden. The 7000 series Catfish Special is made in China. Sometimes I just want to give the bean counter/money people a little drop kick.
