Here is the list of exhabitors from the LB Show, maybe you'll see a name that rings a bell :D

Accurate
I was going to say "Release Reels" but they're not on the LB list. Very nice just the same but higher cost than the Avets (but lower than the Accurates)...

I looked at the list for ever and can't find it, and no it wasn't accurate

I think I know which ones you were looking at. They had mostly blue anodized and a few silver and maybe a gold right? Kind of in the middle of the show small booth and a little disorganized?
That guy said he was from the East Coast and sold a lot in Florida and was trying to get a toe hold in California at the show. I had a brochure but I think I recently tossed it.

Dude that sound almost dead on the reel he showed me was a red analyzed one around the size of a avet mxj-N
Idk about the Florida stuff but I know he's not from Cali and he's trying to find a steady point here to sell his family's product

Your thinking of Canyon Reels. I believe they're made in New Jersey. The guy in the booth was from New Jersey but lives here.
