The second is ST1211 You are correct they are made in Taiwan to Japanese Spec I have others which I have used and stripped to inspect they are made to a very high standard being out of one piece billet so are very strongly constructed with stainless bearings and are sold through Pelagic Australia/America.
My SHIMANO`S are made in Malaysia
I personally like these reels as I`m finding others at same money are plastic or very thin ally side plates that corrode very quickly,having said that my ABU LD BG is still going because I regularly strip and clean and coat inside side plates with waterpoof wheel bearing grease.
Any questions please ask or if anybody would just like to see them let me know and I`ll take them to the meet
Cheers Nigel
P.S if anybody is interested I will do a full money back if they do break
