Hi Jason.
the official reason is too high labor costs in ireland.
and when they moved there initially they said:
much lower labor costs in ireland than finland.
and they have not arrived in china for no reason recently.
i think we can be happy as long as they make the plastic lips in finland
to put them on the lure in estonia so it says finland on the lip.
