I think the River2Sea crankbaits/topwater production is still in California.
Just don’t make any of my favorites.

Zoom is definitely not USA made. Really...? Well, not only have I been lied to for years, but Zoom should also be in trouble for having "MADE IN USA" on the back of their bags!

Zoom is definitely not USA made. What happened to their 40,000sqft facility and 100 employees? Pretty sure everything is still made there

Interesting. I tried buying some zoom plastics last year and the local fishing store said they had been on backorder for a while and they were coming from some asian country.

I try to support and use USA/TX local products.Salt and Freshwater lures : Freshwater: No real favorites but Zoom, Netbait, Xcite, Grandebass, etc. Saltwater: Down South, Marker 54, Chickenboy, Slayer Inc. I believe all these brands are produced in the good ol US

Most soft plastics are still made in the US. There are several big injectors that make baits for others.
The guys down in Many La. do baits for a lot of them.
