mann's is all USA made, even their crankbaits. If where something is manufactured matters, Mann's would be a good company to support.
Im sorry I didnt answer your question, but im pretty positive most everything (thats not JDM) is chinese made in the tackle world. I never heard of 6th sense being USA made since I been knowing about them these last few years.

A lot of the PRADCO lures (Bandits and Normans) are made in Guatemala.
Bill Lewis lures are still made in Alexandria, Louisiana. The Mann’s EZ series deep divers and 1- minus wakebaits are very good.

Whenever I pass by there (Eufaula) I wonder if they'll make it much longer. The China onslaught is brutal.

No idea how i missed that....they should be shoving it in our face that they are US made! LOL I have some manns blanks I havent painted...but they dont really seem to have much I like. Bill Lewis has come out with some good stuff that caught my attention and I just never got around to ordering...gonna have to add in some Bill Lewis stuff next tacklewarehouse order Reaction innovation is made in Birmingham Al. I was thinking more of the hardbait side. I thought that one company thats in the US poured a lot of the plastics for some of the heavy hitters like zoom....but all the hardbait stuff was done overseas.
