Tackle Company Countries of Origin

[CMorg]

I am wondering of what all countries have quality tackle manufactures in them. For instance we all know America , and Japan make great quality products. I just found Molix a new ? company from Italy. Do you guys know of any other companies out there making good products ?

Damiki ---> Korea
Rapala ---> Finland
Molix ---> Italy
Sébile ---> France
Strike Pro ---> Malaysia
Salmo ---> Poland

Those are some I remember right now.

Pflueger and Fenwicks are both made in China

Raul got most of them that come to my mind. Let's see:

Nils, Bete Spoons--->Finland (click on the Union Jack flag for English)

I can't think of any others that I have right now.

Pflueger, Shakespeare and a majority of other reels are made in China.

As for bait, lemme look at the packs...

edit:
Strike King - all the packs I have read Made in USA (soft plastic "bagged" lures, senko-like worms)
Berkley power/scented lures - some say USA, others say China (soft plastic "bagged" lures, tubes, worms, etc)
I know the BPS XPS cranks were made in China... had to remove the sticker off their bill

Interesting to see that about the SK's. What baits are they? Most their crankbaits say assembled in mexico or similar country.

If we're talking strictly lures can't forget megabass, jackall, lobina, and some others I forget from Japan.
