Megabass rod observation

Post by Jnkoepp » Wed Jun 02, 2021 12:02 pm

Noticed my new one has a “made in Vietnam” sticker vs “made in China”. Has all production moved there? Is that why there’s been such a shortage lately?

The rep who we get Uniden radio's through has said Vietnam has been in the grips of Covid recently...

Production has struggled immensely.

The shortage and delays have been due to supply chain issues. Getting components has been tough on most rod brands.. All production has not been moved to Vietnam.

I’m not saying this as a negative was just curious is all. I’m completely sold on MB rods. Love them all except for G1 Levantes.

Very sorry if my reply came across in a manner other than informational . I apologize if so. Not my intent and just pointing out reasons for shortages.
