You won't meet a better guy than James from Tackle Industries. He makes some great products. And while they may not be made in the USA, you are still supporting James and his family and all the donations he gives out. Operation Muskie is one that comes to mind that he donates a ton of things to.

Tommy: Let's think about this for a sec, Ted, why would somebody put a guarantee on a box? Hmmm, very interesting.

Ted Nelson, Customer: Go on, I'm listening.

Tommy: Here's the way I see it, Ted. Guy puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause he wants you to fell all warm and toasty inside.

Ted Nelson, Customer: Yeah, makes a man feel good.

Tommy: 'Course it does. Why shouldn't it? Ya figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right, Ted?

[chuckles until he sees that Ted is not laughing too]

Ted Nelson, Customer: [impatiently] What's your point?

Tommy: The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy; well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. The next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser, and your daughter's knocked up. I seen it a hundred times.

Ted Nelson, Customer: But why do they put a guarantee on the box?

Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of $#!+. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.

Ted Nelson, Customer: [pause] Okay, I'll buy from you.

Tommy: Well, that's...

Tommy, Richard Hayden: ...What?

I started laughing imediately when I saw this....hahaha....love that movie - plus, it's very true about a lot of things we buy in this country.

It's more imporant to me to support the tax-paying employess of a USA company than to pay a retailer who sells foriegn made stuff.

But that's just me.

Of course I'm not going to buy made in USA unless it's quality.

St. Croix is quality.

Sorry this won't be sooner but I will have some of my new Tackle Industries rods in hot pink and all camo ready late 2010. I know, why?? Mainly because people have asked me for them. Also the current all black with gold anodized aluminum parts will still be in the line up too. Of course they will all have the Alconite tip top Fuji guides and Fuji reel seats too. Thanks!
