After Luhr Jensen sold their company their lures started being made in Mexico and then I started getting some of their lures that said "made in China".  So, I'm not sure they are really still an Oregon company.  (I used to stop in their store in Hood River a couple times per year and buy a bunch of lures......)

I think alot of this stuff is made over seas...everyone in our hunting camp is extremely anal about buyin stuff MADE IN CHINA and this year there was almost a fist fight after a heated argument about where danner boots were made and being showed they were made in china, not Oregon  :chuckle:  :chuckle:

I don't believe the top end Danners are made in China, but I would not bet any money on that statement either as there are tricky ways to screw with exposure of assembly.

Washington:
COSTCO, Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks, Nordstrom, Paccar, Weyerhouser

Idaho:
Micron Technology

Oregon:
Nike, Precision Cast Parts

... I just noticed ANOTHER good reason to vote "NO" on I-1098. Those "Washington" companies could/would easily go to Oregon but Oregon has a state tax and we don't need one!!! Believe me, if I-1098 passes YOU WILL HAVE A STATE INCOME TAX !!! Don't believe that $200,000 and above crap...  that will only last for a few years at best, then YOU AND I will be footing the bill.
