Man, thanks for finding that - knew they were based here - didnt realize they are manufactured from the ground up. Might have to give one a try!
my thoughts exactly

Very cool!! It is not easy to work with manual processes like that with that amount of attention day in and day out.

I have to say I’m a bit shocked how “affordable” they are. I’ve spend about the same on a name brand Made in China rod.

Complex build and good to employ Amercans. Now think about how much more difficult multi piece fly rods are to build consistently. Also the mandrels and epoxy pre-preg carbon fiber weave are outsourced from where?

Great video! There’s a similar, but short, video of St. Croix Rod’s facility in Fresnillo, MX, where they make many rods. The sad part is Fresnillo is in Zacateca State, where some of the worst Cartel wars are on-going. Maybe their new lady President and Donald will help that. My one St. Croix rod was made there. I broke it, but it was certainly my fault, not theirs. TexasJim
Whelp, picked one up - gonna see how I like it. I must say that I love the action and initial feel of the rod. This is their low end “Element”

I placed a diawa tatula 150 sv tw in/on the reel seat… Sorry to say I found the reel seat coupler on the element to flimsy for my taste and passed on the rod and bought a different rod.
