There's actually a misconception that's been going around for many years
about LL Bean rods. The *high end* rods are made by Loomis--true. But the
middle of the road rods were made (don't know if they still are or not) by
St. Croix. And the low-end rods are made in the Far East. Beans wants (for
obvious reasons) people to think that their rods are made by Loomis; but
many of them aren't. That, by the way, doesn't make them bad rods--just not
Loomis rods.
