Default Are there any american made tackle out there?

To be specific, Charles, if memory serves me correctly it goes like this:
First, our heads (hook & head wires) are assembled, poured, and primed with
powder paint in Illinois. They are then shipped to southern Missouri for the
head detail finishing. The metallic finish blades are manufactured & plated
at two separate factories in Wisconsin. Our colored blades originate as
polished brass blades from those same factories, which are shipped for
powder painting (for improved finish durability) in the same Illinois
facility that produces the heads. All finished blades are then sent to a
specialist facility in western Missouri for forming and assembly of the
finished Quick Clip blade attachments. They are then sent to the southen
Missouri factory where the Florida-made skirts are installed on the finished
heads with the proper blade attachments, packaged, and shipped to our
Nashville facility or direct to dealers (our dealer network is just
forming).

Oh yeah, our Mustad hooks are made in the great state of Norway.
