Here is Lew's history

There are probably no US made reels anymore with any of the major fishing reel companies.

Shimano I believe is Malaysia made now but used to be made solely in Japan. I think there are some reels still made in Japan.

Daiwa reels are made in Thailand and some still in Japan.

Lew's are manufactured in Korea.

Much like automobiles fishing reels are made in Asia now.
