It is my understanding that the Mojo line is a higher quality rod than Premier and they are made in Mexico.

Never tried a Mojo but if higher price equals higher quality then you may be right.

Both Lamiglas and G.Loomis rods and blanks are made in Woodland Washington. St. Croix make their higher end rods and blanks blanks in the Wisconsin, some in Mexico.

ALX designs their rod blanks and assembles the rods in the USA, like others mentioned.

No rod builder makes their own rod components like guides or handles in the USA, some are assembled here.

No fresh water bass reels are made in the USA, few high end fly reels and salt water reels are.

I'll probably have to get a custom build, bc I want a USA rod with those Winn grips like the ones on a few of my Garcia rods.

 

MAN those grips are COMFY.

I have one of those...those grips are amazingly comfortable.

Virtus offers a choice of Winn or cork in the Red Diamond series.
