    No, not specifically but items made overseas are manufactured at a much lower cost. All I was saying is if the OP is going to have to pay to get a replacement rod I wouldn’t even mess with Fitzgerald. Much better options in the same price range or below.

    The Fitzgerald rode that I own have a made in USA sticker on them. I do not know if they all do. I suspect that their newer cheaper offerings are imported.

    They are made right here in Florida, I believe. The owner of Fitzgerald rods fishes the Harris Chain frequently. Him and his dad just fished the Holiday Marine Wed. night tourney. I believe his name is Trevor Fitzgerald. Thinking they live in Ocala.

    My apologies if they are made here in the states. I assumed the were made overseas since I couldn’t find it anywhere on the website.

    Send them an email and ask... easy peasy. We get that all the time.

    Usually if you build them here, you're proud of it and are quick to share it.
