Tony,
   Can you please clarify something for me.  Are the 12/0 and 14/0 made in China? ...and if so, when did they start being manufactured there?
Thanks
Dom

Dom, I recall 14/0 were being in Philly when we went, but WOW two years ago already...

When Tony gave Sue & I a tour of the Penn plant a couple of years ago — there was a gentleman drilling out and finishing the 14/0 sideplates — and yes, they were being produced in Philadelphia.

That's what I thought, but I had heard differently somewhere.  Thanks for the assurance, John and Fred.

As I understand it. Penn has a retail price point for US manufacture. Thus the Chinese Senators and US Fathoms.

116L AND 117L manufactured in the USA, continue to squash those false rumors for us!

I recall specifically watching the 14/0 getting assembled and thinking Daron should have been there with us....the pull-down drivers are awesome. I should've done that on my bench...
