Surfcaster Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Eagle Claw hooks, Mann's Jelly and Augertail worms and ZOOM Super Hogs. Also Deep Creek Lures in Dunn, NC. These fishing products are the only ones I have purchased recently that I know were made in the USA.
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted May 29, 2015 Super User Posted May 29, 2015 i like stuff made in japan and i buy american when i can,but things in america aint made like they used to be ...im still not thrilled about the asian kids making my toothbrushes for 1 penny a day and sellin them to me for 3$.but im adapting and enjoyin life 1
BasshunterJGH Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 As far as reels go, if its made in japan, I'm happy. 1
Super User SirSnookalot Posted May 29, 2015 Super User Posted May 29, 2015 As far as the auto business goes it's all global, being in the scrap industry I've been in hundreds of auto related plants. Many of these plants use foreign parts for assembly, years ago Japanese steel flooded our market. I service a company that made door hinges, they went to Chrysler of Canada. Had one that made marine inboards, the blocks were Yamaha and the wiring was Yazuki. To the issue, I don't really care who makes what or where it was made. With this buy American logic why take then take them down to Mexico or up to Canada to go fishing lol, you can't catch fish here? I may be going to Los Algondones in the near future, I'll buy a disposable Chinese spinning outfit at Walmart and head down to the Sea of Cortez for a couple of days. Be fair say I don't care who gets my money, I just want to catch fish.
frogflogger Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 I still love my Ardent 1000's after several years and thousands of fish - they say built in U.S.A.
thirtysixit Posted May 31, 2015 Author Posted May 31, 2015 A lot of great replies here. Thanks to all. It's good to get another angler's perspective on the source of our equipment.

Super User HoosierHawgs Posted June 1, 2015 Super User Posted June 1, 2015 My truck, a 2012 GMC Sierra 2500HD, did not crack the top 14. My Yota's did though!
Super User SirSnookalot Posted June 1, 2015 Super User Posted June 1, 2015 Noticing the picture of the Vinsetta garage, lots of things happen in the 10 years since I've left home, that was a real garage built in 1919. Located on famous street Woodward Ave, known for street drag racing. No longer dragging but each year there is the Woodward Dream Cruise, if you are a car buff it's a must to see, over a million people attend. Now I see the garage is a restaurant, lots of nostalgia and memories for me.
Super User *Hootie Posted June 1, 2015 Super User Posted June 1, 2015 If every American suddenly stopped buying Toyotas because they are a Japanese company, how many Americans would suddenly be out of a job? Hootie 3
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted June 1, 2015 Super User Posted June 1, 2015 If every American suddenly stopped buying Toyotas because they are a Japanese company, how many Americans would suddenly be out of a job? Hootie I don't think that will happen The Toyota quality is insane. We've owned more Yotas then anything else and they are tanks. Can drive them or upwards of 200,000 miles no problem. They are also quite nice to drive. There is actually a Yota factory right here in Indiana. 2
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Even if foreign made, a purchase supports American jobs like truckers, warehousemen, store clerks, marketing and sales jobs etc. The world economy is just a fact of life now. 3
thirtysixit Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 Even if foreign made, a purchase supports American jobs like truckers, warehousemen, store clerks, marketing and sales jobs etc. The world economy is just a fact of life now. That is a great point and I understand the "Global economy" is a fact of life now. My wife drives a Japanese car and the out board on my Stratos is a Yamaha... But I just don't like the fact that we are becoming a nation full of marketers and service providers. The phrase "Made in America" means something very important to me and I'm really surprised that so many of us are willing to pay a little less for something made by a Godless Communist in China..... I understand those words are inflammatory and I apologize if they offend anyone but this is America!!! The brightest shining beacon of liberty on the planet and when I see us willingly surrender our manufacturing prowess to countries who oppress their people I get a little upset. In my opinion we should have the entire market share for outdoor sports like Bass Angling. I have beat this horse to death now and will stand down. I appreciate all of the candid feedback. Respectfully, Thirtysixit

John G Posted June 2, 2015 Posted June 2, 2015 Cold War's over mate. I would rather have the Cold War back than what we are dealing with now. At least the Soviets understood what mutual destruction meant. The Islamofacists are suicidal and couldn't care less how many die in their quest for an Islamofacists world. 1
