In 2005 the much loved Browning Fishing Brand was bought out by Bass Pro Shops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The big fish eats the little fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s the circle of life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These days, the factory who makes Browning Fishing Rods is the same as the one that makes BPS Rods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is no “Browning” branded factory making Browning Fishing Rods <\/a>anymore. Those days are gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What you will find is that Browning (read: Bass Pro Shops) outsources much of their manufacturing to white label producers in Asia. China, Taiwan, Japan and Korea have all been used over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So who makes Browning Fishing Rods today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pflueger is the manufacturer of Browning rods these days.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Since Pflueger fishing rods <\/a>are made in China it makes sense that Browning Fishing Rods are made in China too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sorry for those of you who were hoping to here that Browning is made in the USA. But it just isn’t the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As with most manufacturers these days, Browning have outsourced their Fishing Rod production to China. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no definitive statement on the Browning website as to who makes their fishing rods. There isn’t even a statement on their website saying anything about their tie-up with Bass Pro Shops (but just walk into a BPS shop and you’ll see what I mean!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n It would be nice to have some transparency in fishing brand ownership<\/a> wouldn’t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere are Browning Fishing Rods Made?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
How do we know who makes Browning Fishing Rods?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
