and "fine print" was set up in legislation to let "advertising" skirt all sorts of "rules"
trust me.. I'm an expert on this one....... After reading the fine print it appears there are many legal loopholes to skirt the rules now of days.........

Great rods at a great price.
If they were 100% made in the USA you wouldn't like the price and they probably wouldn't survive as a company.

Most models. Clear as mudd now. "Quality has always been at the bedrock of the brand. Early on we knew that if a customer broke a Falcon rod it would be tough to restore that anglers confidence, he said. The finest components like Fuji and carbon fiber materialseven when they cost a little more. With USA blank production and assembly on most models, tight controls are in place at every step."

I had a warranty issue a couple of years ago and it took almost 2 months for them to replace it on a Carrera because the blanks were back ordered. The rep told me at that time that Falcon bought their blanks and just added the guides and handles, they did not make the blanks. I sense then switched to TFO which in my opinion is a much better rod anyway at least the warranty is.

Yes, St Croix rods are still made in Park Falls Wisconsin. St Croix also has a plant in Fresnillo, Mexico (St Croix own) for production of Mojo and Triumph rods.

St Croix sucks. There’s a plug for everyone. They’re like fishing with three pairs of gloves on.

Overly burdensome environmental regulations...you mean the laws that ensure we have clean water to fish in?
The economics of American companies moving production to China is for one thing and one thing only: To maximize profits. The end.
