I just checked the Falcon website. If you click on the link for a Cara rod you can clearly see the made in USA round blue sticker or badge they use to advertise it being made in America.
I do not see this on the page for the Expert rod. Not one mention of made in USA there.
What Falcon has been doing is switching a series of rods formerly made in USA over to a made in China rod, and then telling us Americans the new rods will be discounted slightly cheaper than the previous made in USA rod.
They are counting on their tiny drop in price to be an incentive for all of us to keep buying our favorite Falcon rods and to never mind and not even think about the new made in China quality or increased profit margin the executives of Falcon are now patting themselves on the backs for while their labor force is getting cut like all others are doing.
How is it a good thing to put us American workers out of jobs, and then count on us to keep paying artificially inflated prices for a cheaper product is beyond me!
