Can anyone provide a definitive and up to date list of country of origin / manufacture for all glass fly rods and blanks please.
Ta.

Simply put, no.

I'll refer you to the rod shop list on the Fiberglass Manifesto. There are over 100 listings, including some companies that make several product lines (some of which come from different countries). It would take weeks to contact all those shops, track down the products they still carry, which of those rods are fiberglass, where the blanks are made (if they even tell you, which they usually won't), and to discover the OEM operations that make glass for other shops but don't sell it themselves. It's not a question you can expect anyone to easily answer.

Is there something that specifically interests you?


Tom

Thanks Tom,
since you ask, the thing that particularly interests me is avoiding helping the CCP in their bid for world economic domination.

Phew ! Not to mention trying to be accurate and keeping up with the global supply chain as rapidly as it changes in ownership and origin.
People do make buying choices based on company/origin but need to do their homework. FFR isn't an advocacy website, so we don't discuss the political, economic, or social issues surrounding such choices. There are plenty of other forums for such discussions.
