Jonezee, my humblest of apologies. The bamboo's are built in China, and you're most likely correct as to where the graphite rod are built/made/produced.Originally Posted by Jonezee
My younger brother had bought a 3w (I think it was the Western series too) at a fly show about 5 or 6 years ago along with the reel. Paid a decent price for it and he liked it a lot. It broke right above the grip. He got it replaced, broke it again. He got married, moved and can't find the pieces. He's now been moaning for 2 years now.
