I live in Oklahoma and am really disappointed. I fish Falcon because they are made here. I try to buy Made in America as much as I can. However, not going to do like some will say and not buy their rods anymore. People will say I will not buy stuff from overseas, but then look at the boat or the vehicle they have. Go ahead, try to buy a boat motor that is Made in America. Unfortunatley it is almost impossible to buy completely Made in America in any sport, especially fishing, sad to say.

man, you have been around long enuff to know how this industry operates; no surprise. sounds like you're trying to throw Falcon under the bus... lame... Yeah I agree Senko. I am merely making a statement. Handle it. Do you even know what a fishing pole is? I know you don't know how to use one very well. Oh, sorry......I forgot. You're the ex-Lake Lewisville guide.......bwahahahaha.

Theyve been made over seas for years. Hey e always used the assembled in US tag for a while. I said This was the case years ago and people on here acted like I was the antichrist. There is not a blank one completely made in the USA. Nada. Dont care what they put on their marketing

No they Werent made in Oklahoma, they were assembled in Oklahoma. The guides, seats, blanks, wrapping materials, all cane from Overseas

Put tariffs on fishing products. They'll all move back.

Northfork Company for rod blanks made here. There are plenty of mom & pop companies making excellent tackle here as well. Jig4Bass.com for example.
Yeah, I have a Skeeter with a Yamaha SHO but I do what I can to help the little guys here whenever possible.
