Default Who Makes LL Bean Rods?

Levi is privately owned so there no way to tell. The poor ******* at
Abercrombie & Fitch only made 66.7 mill last year. How they get by on
that?.

by
St. Croix. And the low-end rods are made in the Far East.


Only a matter of time until all American companies' graphite rods will
come from overseas:

Its pretty sad when it is seen as too expensive to pay $12 an hour to
workers. I'd like to see what Levi's executives make.
