I wouldn't say for sure the Manleys are made in the USA. In fact, very few rods are made here. If you are not going to pay for the Olivers, dig around and find a much cheaper chinese knock off that's not in a name brand box. Check and fit both ends and go.

I'm tired of companies claiming their junk is made here, when it's only boxed here, or at most, finished machined here.
