Looks like you found the manufacturer of the reel
I found this topic by coincidence when I was looking for some fishing information. I am an American fisherman and I would like to add my opinion as fisherman who likes to help other fishermen.
Tufftackle Sniper10000 is made in Australia by Australian hands using Australian materials. That link is from a Chinese factory that stole and copied the design of the Tufftackle reel which was originally designed by Simon Ball, the owner of Tufftackle who is an expert engineer and have worked on on many projects that there is no space to list here. But Simon checks every reel himself before it leaves his Australian factory and makes sure that they work fine.
Tufftackle reels always get under attack by those who have special interest with Shimano and Daiwa. Be sure that every bad comment you hear about them comes from a "pen for hire" and never a genuine fisherman. Shimano and Daiwa do not want you to know there is a product that can perform better than their reels at less than half the price.
Personally I have fished my whole life and used Saltigas, Stellas, Dogfights, and Accurate. I push my reels so hard and put them under real hard fishing conditions, and have seen all these reels melt down under pressure. Then I found Tufftackle and bought their products to try them, and they proved to be much superior to Stellas and Saltigas. I have landed Tuna up to 350 Kilos, Marlin up to 300 Kilos, and skull dragged Groupers from depths up to 400 meters using Tufftackle Sniper 10000 and the reels did not break a sweat. I searched for Tufftackle site until I found it and there I found a testimony from The Reel Doctor that the 10000 is superior to Stella and Saltiga. This is a man who knows what he is talking about and his phone number is there if you wanted to call and ask. This is the real expert, not the faceless nameless spooks who post lies about tufftackle products.
Just an honest opinion from a fisherman who hates to see others spend their money on overpriced tackles that are designed to wear and fail so you still pour more money in the pockets of Daiwa and Shimano
