The last time I checked the Penn SS series spinning reels were still
being made in Philadelphia out near Temple University where I once
lived. They have gone to graphite bodies on the smaller versions of this
series of reels. I am not sure where the remainder of Penn's tackle is
being fabricated. Bass Pro and Cabelas carries this SS series as well as
some smaller mom and pop stores in our area.

Sure, there are plenty...

All-Star Rods are in Houston, Texas
Triton Boats are here in Tennessee
St. Croix rods are in Wisconsin
Secret Weapon Spinnerbaits is in Missouri
Nitro/Tracker Boats are made in Missouri as well

These are just off the top of my head.

Really??? They're not made in the USA??

That's kinda depressing to know as it was one of the reasons that I
perferred them. Just bought an IM10X worm rod last weekend.

The Allstar rods I have are made in China, most are made in the
USA...Mine are Wally World specials, but I haven't broken and returned
them like someone we all know..

Just checked mine too. The Classic WR1 says "Made in the USA", and the other
just says Houston TX.
