From what I've seen, the answer is "NO."
If there's one out there, what is it?

G Loomis rods are completely manufactured in Woodland, Washington. They are the best rods on the market with a good warranty.

RSY, I don't know where you are located in central Texas, but there are two excellent rod companies in the Houston area. www.allstarrods.com and www.americanrodsmiths.com . Both make high quality fishing rods in a variety of models and at affordable prices. Check them out. C

Lamiglas rods used to be built in Woodland, WA but their website no longer states this. I sent them an E mail to find out if their labor went south, will post when they reply.

St. Croix Rod, assembled in Park Falls, Wisconsin. However, I'm not really sure if the blanks and other parts are made in the US. http://www.stcroixrods.com/default.asp

I have been in both stores Lamiglas and G Loomis they are both in Woodland Washington. In fact one is on one side of I-5 and the other is on the other side almost straight across from each other. Next time I�m up that way I will stop in and find out.

I fish with All Star rods. They say they are made in the USA. There is also a rod company in San Angelo, Texas but I can not remember their name at the moment. Try an All Star rod, they are hard to beat for the $100.-$150. price range.

All Star also has great customer service. I had 2 that broke and I was in the Houston area so I just stopped by their shop. they replace 1 with no questions asked, but the other was a discontinued model that cost me $125.00 several years ago, they upgraded me to their Titanium model(list price of $299.00) for $50.00 plus my broken rod.

Orvis - if you can afford them (yeah, they are made in the U.S.A., right in downtown Manchester, VT - you can even go in the shop and watch them do it).
Same goes for a much more affordable brand - DiamondBack.

I have a G. Loomis FR1086 fly rod(9' 6 Weight GLX) that is clearly marked "Made in Canada". Do you think its a phony? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
It is better to be believed a FOOL than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!!!

I have 2 G-Loomis spinning rods clearly marked "Made in Canada" and "Fabrique du Canada".
Are these only for the Canadian market?

Falcon rods are 100% USA made and I think Kistler, and Castaway are as well. Of course some of their top end components are made in Japan.

Star Rods are made in NC. Really nice stuff. Not cheap, but like top Loomis at half the price.
I have an All-Star rod that is made in the USA.
It is a graphite-through-handle surf rod, 9 feet, $59.00 and wow!
