this quote from another board:

"No not true..

If you buy them in bulk the way I do..They come in a orange box ..The box has the Guide letters & numbers...Next to that it says made in Japan...

You maybe thinking of Pac Bay/ American Tackle or Batson/ Alps when you think China...

No ring guides are made in the USA..Its a shame but trure... "

Fuji guides are largely made in China at this point. The key difference is that original Japanese materials are shipped to China and the production is supervised by on-site Fuji production and design managers using tools and machinery originally designed by Fuji and moved to China. This is a very unique arrangement and one that has reduced production time on certain items. We see no change in Fuji's production quality. and unfortunately, we saw no change in their prices to us. Box info is changing as inventory turns. The changes have occurred over a number of years, it has not been a sudden move.

I agree with you Bill. Don't like it at all. It's like Apple, had a beautiful OS then changed to a butt ugly format.
