Best Made-in-USA Fishing Gear

Buying American-made is not, strictly speaking, a fish-catching strategy. The fish do not, as a rule, check the country of origin on your wading boot before deciding whether to eat your fly. But for anglers who care about supporting US manufacturing -- and the small-town economies of Bozeman, Cortland, Park Falls, Twin Bridges, and the various other places where the best American tackle gets built -- here are the brands that still actually make their flagship products in the United States. The list is conservative; brands with mixed sourcing are kept out so that a Made-in-USA badge means what it says.
