And the next question is, which famous reels used to be manufactured in California but are now made by the company that bought them in Montrose Colorado?

OK....... sticking with fly reels.

From these clues, which brand is this :?

1. One of the most innovative companies in fly reel design, arguably they were one of the first to successfully produce a cassette reel.
2. They have made reels/rebranded their designs for other brands, but they're not Hardy.
3. Quality machining from bar-stock was where this company started, but not in Europe.
4. The brand started in the 1970s but disappeared (more or less) by the 00's.

Who are they  :?

Negative. Perhaps a further clue....
Not Europe including the UK... so somewhere else.
