I buy made in USA products when I can find them. Sometimes I have to go to several stores to find the item I want that is made in the USA when that is even possible. I see a lot of products that are "Assembled in the USA" which doesn't tell me jack about where the components are made. One of my pet peeves is when I am looking at items in a store and all of packaging facing the isle is printed in Spanish so I have to turn it around to read about the product. Some days I turn all of them around so the side printed in English faces the aisle. I figure if ya want to live here, learn the language.
It seems to go from zero to hero all some have to do is lie.

I try to buy "made in the USA" as much as possible. Several years ago, I needed ST (trailer) tires for a boat trailer, "NONE" were made in the USA. Since then Goodyear has started making them again and I don't know if they are available in all sizes. Getting harder and harder to find products made with parts fully manufactured in the USA.

Here is a link to their site with their made in usa st tires with all their sizes https://www.tires-easy.com/205-75-14/goodyear-tires/endurance/tirecode/724864519
I know i personally i search up brands with that said products that make and start to see if all their products are made/ or assembled in usa then if i cant find any then i just go and find an individual product Made in USA
But you can find Most things made in usa if you do some digging and make a list so others dont have to search anyway how should i categorize it, and how specific should my categories be?

Been that way for at least 20 years. Almost all the major manufactures have all their product made "over there"

I try, but as noted, it's pretty difficult.  And now I'm  finding that items I have (and were USA sourced) and are finally in need of replacement are now no longer made in USA.

I guess for now my list is:
K-Drill

All that being said, I have no heartburn w/ gear from Europe, they seem to be a close second on my choices.

Used to get a lot of Northland seconds cheap when I lived in town. The perch didn't care if the Slurpies were missing an eye or had 2 different colors mixed together  :roflmao:

I will say I am not impressed by their small ice fishing jigs anymore. The hooks they're using are ridiculously brittle. Had a bunch of the Mooska tungstens break on bluegills a couple years back, so I switched brands.

Even less choice for us Canadian to support made in Canada. I think my Williams ice jig and my Baffins are the only pieces of ice gear made here.
I think that my mini Kastmaster (Acme) jigging spoons may be made in USA, possibly the Swedish pimple too (bay de noc lures)?

Custom Jigs and Spins are USA made jigs!
Good quality and they work.
Though anymore I make almost all of my own jigs.
That way I know where they're made which is in my garage!

I've switched to Acme for my little 2-3mm tungstens. They're a lot more durable, and cheaper by the 2pk.

I just picked up a few of their new Mick-E jigs. Unique if nothing else.

The last Buckshot spoons I got were garbage. The rattles were all crooked and one fell off the first day I got them. On another, the top round loop broke when I was trying to take the holder thing off that they come with to hang in the stores. I took them back, I was pissed. They were 5 bucks a piece…
