First and foremost I work in the industry and one of my coworkers was an engineer for several Korean reel manufacturers. Dawon and Doyo both make reels for BPS. At the current moment, most of BPS reels are made by Dawon, but the pro qualifier and signature series reel are Doyo. The orginal Pfueger Patriarchs and all lews reels are made by Doyo. Some, but not all, of the newer lews and doyo reels have the same screw hump on the gear side plate and frame so using that as your reasoning for why it's a Dawon reel isn't good enough. Also Dawon doesn't currently offer one of their own branded reels with that frame configuration, but reel manufacturers are known to make one-off reels, like the Johnny Morris signature series reel. Doyo only makes that reel for bass pro and no one else and does not offer one of their own brand reels in that configuration. After looking at the online 2016 catalog I can say for a fact that it is a Dawon reel. The giveaway was the palm side plate and break dial configuration. It has the same breaking system that is only found on Dawon manufactured reels. Had I not seen the pic in their catalog I would have said it was Doyo based on all it's other traits.
