I seem to be stumbling onto these things left and right:

Chinese made rods.
You can find American made handcrafted rods for the same price if you look hard enough.
What about Ron Caimi’s TroutCamp Bamboo Rods (http://www.troutcamprods.com).
There’s been a ton of discussion on this on Clark’s board as well as on flyfisherman.com. I’m 98% positive the new Diamondback bamboo rods are made in China as well.
On a similar note. Glen Brackett and the entire Winston bamboo rod crew resigned and walked off the job last week because of Winston’s new embracing of Chinese crap. Not sure if Winston will pimp out their cane to the chinamen or not yet, but the Ibis series are imported and that got the proverbial ball rolling.
