Wondering if anyone has info on the old school Cabela's fishing rods. 

 

I've got the following, all in great shape...what do you know about them?

 

C44x

Fish Eagle II, IM6

Fish Eagle II, CX2

Tournament Trail, IM7

XML Ti

 

I know a pretty good bit about the IM6 Fish Eagle, IM7 Tourney Trail, and XML TI. I worked in the fishing department at Cabela's for several years while those rods were on the shelf. What do you want to know about them?

Thanks! Broke a guide on my Fish Eagle II spinning rod...who makes the guides?  Fuji?

 

I had heard Cabela's got their blanks from Loomis to make these rods...true?

I can't remember exactly which Fuji guide it was but pretty sure they made them. 

 

They never told us who made the blanks but I doubt it was Loomis.

I recently acquired a bunch of the Tourney IM7.  They have a little finish cracking around the guides but I'm going to use them for night fishing so I don't cry if I lose one.  They do have cork handles which I really like.

They don't strike me as having been expensive.
