With exception of the Cara Line. I guess that's alright since all I buy is Cara's, anyways. I sure won't buy anything else from them, though...I like to spend my money on good ole'fashioned "Made in USA" products. flag

Not a surprise, seems like 90% of them are made in China.

Hmmmmm, been using Falcon rods for a while.
Started with the Bucoo line, have moved up to Cara and lowriders.

Just got a couple Kistler KLX rods, have not tried them out, but they are light.

Looks like I may move to made in TEXAS, USA !!!

It was my understanding the Cara and Jason Christie models were the only ones made in USA.

Its my understanding that the Caras are still made here. The new Expert and Lowriders are from over seas. But almost every rod munufacturer out there are getting them made over seas. Very few companies still building local.
I mainly use Caras and love them. Plan on getting a few cranking rods in the new low rider. But either way Falcon still has some of the best rods out. Just look at how hard it is to find used ones. Not too many people let go of them.

Here's a chore for some of you, go into your favorite tackle store and try to find something made in the U.S.A. Nearly impossible. I was in need of a new PFD and every one at BPS is made in China. Pretty sure most Strike King lures are made in Costa Rica. Think you would put hooks on a square bill all day for $50 a week? Chinese will. As a golfer I understand that most if not all the pieces that make up a golf club are made in other countries, mostly China, Taiwan and Japan but some are assembled here. That's true with all except Ping. That's why I don't complain much about stuff being made in China. If everything I fished with and played golf with was made entirely in the U.S.A. I probably couldn't afford it. Don't know if these trade tariffs will ever reach sporting goods but if they do tackle will get a lot more expensive.

So did you here if Falcon will let some of their staff go? I'm talking working staff not Pro Staff. Really that would be the only thing that changes. I don't like that if they do but it is the nature of business and it happens all the time. As far as the rods go I don't think anything really changes.
