Where are American Tackle Guides manufactured?

I was just curious. I would prefer to make my rods from American made components when possible. I know Fuji guides are made in Japan. Anybody know about the American Tackle components?

The Orient, as well. Very few rod guides are made here in the U.S., and perhaps no ceramic ones.

Accept for some blanks, I would be surprised if very many (if any) components are made here

Aftco stuff, most Perfection stuff and maybe a few others, are still made here. But not much along the lines of ceramic line guides or nylon type seats.

American Tackle rocks. Call and ask'em, they'll tell ya. I called with questions on size, and one of their big cheifs personally went out on the floor and took a digital caliper to abunch of their products and emailed me back the same day. Tell me he didnt have better things to do. I buy their stuff, just for that. Levi
