Zoom does not sell direct to smaller retailers. You have to go through a middle man(company) so to speak.

I bought some homemade Jigs from one of the best jig makers in the USA! Matthew Carroll aka Jigum! God has called him home. Still use them today! I have one pack that I will never open! Keeping them as a "Keep Sake"!

Zoom is definitely not USA made. I love when people mouth off and have no clue what they are talking about Dubee, I was passing along what I was told by local fishing store.

Have you noticed a difference in pinning fish with that hook design?
When I am not fishing I am thinking about fishing. And mostly what I should have done differently my last trip! #Brockstarama

Soft plastics - Zoom, Yamamoto, Roboworm. Hard baits - as someone else said, it's hard to find any that are still USA-made. Jigs - don't throw them much, but when I do, I try to find some that are high quality, hand tied and made in the USA (even then, they may have foreign components, esp. hooks)

I love America. I always used to put emphasis on “buying USA”. Nothing has changed for my love of the USA but when Chevys get manufactured in other countries and Toyotas are manufactured in the USA and rods are assembled in the USA but with components made in other countries.......it honestly loses the importance(to me) to make “made in the USA” my deciding factor for purchases anymore. We export a ton, our economy is thriving, unemployment is low(and would be way lower if everyone actually WANTED a job). Supporting our economy 1st is important but honestly it’s become so convoluted as to “where it’s made” that I don’t worry about this much anymore. I personally put emphasis on supporting the smaller local business owner. I don’t concern myself with where the products they sell are manufactured but I like to support the local “mom & pop” business’s as opposed to a big corporate chain store where more of the money leaves the local area...... when possible. Just me.
