I am working on a story and am compiling a list of fishing tackle manufacturers with the ability to say MADE IN THE USA. It is ok if they use some sourced components as it is tough to find everything made here (example fugi guides on a rod)
I would appreciate some suggestions for companies I can research. Thanks

Tough to claim that on baits.  The hooks are almost always made overseas unless they are Eagle Claw.  I think they are still manufactured in the US. 

Big Bite Baits is one I can think of.

I don't know.  But I know they inject all their plastics right there in Emory.  So they fit the bill for what was aksed here.   ...with USA MADE products.  He didn't ask if the company solely made everything in USA.  I bet that would eliminate quite a few from the list.

SpitnFire Jigs acquire all materials from U.S. Companies  (Except Hooks Mustad and Gamakatsu, however they are purchased form a US distributor)

Jigheads are poured in Illinois and all skirting material, collars, and rattles are purchased from Florida.

Packaging and other promo material is done with a local company. 

Assembly is done in Texas.



However, we are a very small company so it's relatively easy to do.  Most small lure companies can easily say Made in the USA.  I doubt you will find many who use overseas sources.
