Boy have I got egg on my face.Allow me to correct and clarify: Mojo Bass rods, AND Triumph rods are BOTH designed in Park Falls and handcrafted in Fresnillo, Mexico.
St. Croix is very upfront about this, and to their sources of components. If you have ANY question as to the point of origin, and/or the componets just go to the St. Croix Freshwater Rods Site. Click on the rod series that youre interested in, and youll find information as to the point of origin, and components information near the top and on the left side of that rod series homepage. Youll find one of these two stamps:   TRIUMPH SALTWATER CONVENTIONAL & SPINNING RODS are stated as being imported, and there is no other specification. The rod series that are from Mexico are: Imperial, and Rio Santo fly rods; Mojo Bass, and Triumph rods Freshwater rods, Mojo Surf, and Triumph Surf Saltwater rods. All other St. Croix rods have Park Falls, Wisconsin as the point of origin. Currently none of the freshwater or fly-rod series of St. Croix rods are made in China. TFP This is a Falcon Rod thread not a St. Croix thread....

This thread is kinda silly. Most reel's are not manufactured in the USA but ya'll get into such an uproar if the rod isn't. How many are gonna stop using revo's or shimano's?

I tell you what I find funny about the TFF. One week people are posting about how Dobyn's Rods are the finest rods on the market........ (Korean Made), Garcia Veritas are awesome....... (China made), Duckett rods are the lightest rods ever....... (China made), Shimana Cumara are great rods..... (China made), Skeet rods...... (China), Carrot Stix......... (China).........SEE MY POINT!!!
The rod market has been driven more and more to overseas production for the plain and simple fact of trying to offer a value packed rod at an affordable price. This forum is full of people constantly complaining about how much rods cost now. Then when factories produce select series of rods that are made overseas to make a quality product at an affordable price, the company is criticized. What do you want guys????
Falcon is still the same family owned company it has always been. They just chose to produce the HD and Coastal series overseas to hit a lower retail for the consumer. ALL the Cara T7, Cara Reaction, Cara McClelland series, BuCoo, BuCoo Micro, and Lowrider series are and will continue to be made in the good ole USA. Dollar for dollar, guide for guide, Falcon is still the best value on the market in a fishing rod!

All falcon Caras, Low Rider, Original, and Bucoo are made in Arkansas, Including the blank. They also make a majority of the Coastal from my experience with them.

Dollar for dollar, guide for guide, Falcon is still the best value on the market in a fishing rod! true statement for THOSE model rods. A falcon HD rod IS NOT a good value at ANY price if it breaks into 3 pieces the 1st time you set a hook on a fish. What is the confusion here? Is there no communication in this forum?? LOL I own several falcon rods, 4 cumaras and several G.Loomis. all of which are great rods. The HD falcon rod is a piece of sh1t!!! I don't care what freakin country its made in. You an put the name Falcon on a turd, but it will STILL be a turd.
FISH ON!!

Hard to believe Power Tackle was not mentioned here! Everything made in the USA/Texas except the Fuji parts. Yes they are costly! I build my own rods for me and close friends, when someone asks me to sell them one I recommend PT because I can't build it for what they sell them for! Just saying

I just wish all these China crybabies owned their own business. It's funny how all these guys cry because products aren't cheaper then when a company is trying to stay competitive in a struggling market, someone cries foul. I'm curious, what rod company out there doesn't have Chinese products. How about that Ranger your drive OP, is it 100% American? What I think is really funny, everyone howls about buying American, yet the leading importer to the US is having a very rough time with their vehicles and one of the culprits are parts made right here. The products they aren't importing aren't having all the same problems. That is an interest observation too. St criox rods are either made in USA or mexico

Z520 is correct, although not much fun because he keeps bring facts and reason into the thread.  I like my Falcon rods.
  Courage - knowing something will hurt and still doing it. Stupidity - knowing something will hurt and still doing it. That’s why life is difficult
