I believe Eagle Claw hooks are still made in the USA?   If so, WoodBridge Bay Tackle’s baits are completely made in the USA.  They were designed, prototyped, molds made, parts injection molded, custom hand painted, hooked with Wolverine Split rings, and packaging all done in the good ol’ USA.  We make the MDR Chopper that we’re in the process of introducing and the Molly Bait that we’ll be making available again soon.

Good question

I use Mustad (made in China now) and Owner (made in Japan) hooks. I don't know where Hedron produces their flashabou. Some of the 3D eyes are from Thailand. Rest of the components on my spinnerbaits are made in USA.

All work are done here in US. Should I say: Partially made in USA or made in USA (some imported components) or made from 75% of made in USA components I'm really confused

I heard something similar last summer.  I do not know if there's any truth to it but they do not disclose on their packaging where the product is manufactured.  Generally speaking (of all products these days), if they aren't proud of it being made and manufactured in the USA... then chances are, it's made somewhere overseas.  

Still is not clear to me:

If some of the components are made outside of USA, but all the work are done in USA, Should the final product be considered as made in USA or what will be the best definition for such scenario ?

I don't agree with "assembled in USA"

I do all work here in USA from scratch: melt lead, make my own heads, paint and clear coat them, tied my own custom skirts, etc. Basically, I do full production cycle and only few of the used components are made somewhere else. It seems to me it's just more then assembling. 

James,

Thank you for your input. This is exactly what I'm trying to figure out. Where is the deadline between made in USA, assembled in USA, made in USA (some imported components) ???

I use Mustad as a main hook and some of the 3D eyes from Thailand. They simply are the best match (I did try a lot of staff before I stick with those 2) for my spinnerbaits. Rest of the components are from well known USA companies. Can I identify my product as Made i USA ?  I even more confused now :))))

PSV In my opinion yes you qualify and fall into the “substantially all” category.  It’s nearly impossible to claim something is 100% made here if you look deep enough.  For example, if you look a little further into what I do you’ll find that the design software is from a French company, the computer used for design is a Dell with components from all over the world, the CNC machine for prototyping and mold-making  is German, the molding press is Japanese, the ABS plastic is made here but with chemicals from throughout the world.  The equipment and supplies used for painting are a mixed bag as well.  Then I drive my American car (ahem…) to drop off the baits for shipping.
