I was wondering if they had had there own facilities were they made them or did they have someone like shimano or another rod company biuld them for them

It's top secret.

Neither company makes anything, but they might

have things made exclusively for them. Products

are manufactured by independent companies and

relabeled.

I know that Diawa makes Cabelas spinning reels and Cabelas has been open about it.

bass pro claims to have there own rod factory.it's in the catalog.

Pflueger makes BPS and Browning reels.

Here is what I understand is going on with BPS.

1.  BPS has its own rod specs that they shop around to get the most attractive deal from various rod manufacturers.

2.  BPS has their logos and type settings used on the rods.

3.  Rod manufacturers can change during the years based on who is going to offer the most attractive fiancial deal to BPS and which rods perform the best.

Would think the same is true for all of BPS and Cabellas' products.

Follow the money! 

Daiwa makes cabelas freshwater reels, and i think okuma makes their trolling conventional reels.

And i think silstar makes gander mountain reels

and i think i heard reaction makes cabelas rods

and i think and i think and i think THE CANADIENS BEAT WASHINGTON!!!!

Pflueger makes BPS and Browning reels.

they also make Gander Mtn. baitcasters too

reaction strike makes cabelas rods . reaction strike makes crappy baits but there rods are very good .....

I've had nothing but good experiences with BPS rods, I have three. I had one cabelas rod break but I think it was operator error and not the rod.

But who's making the Pflueger reels and running the factory? ;)

Regardless, so far I like my Browning reels

Pflueger makes BPS and Browning reels.

I'm sure pure fishing is making those reels but not Pflueger itself.  Most of the models within the BPS/Browning line have little in common with any specific Pflueger reel in their line other than some internal machining.

Quantum makes the new GM series reels

the older elites sure look like pinnacle visions

I don't see Pflueger anywhere

Those new GM series reels at Gander Moutain have what look like ACS cast controls that are on Quantum reels.

Not to mention the same body styles, Burner logo, they say Performance tuned, and have the quantum symbol on the cast control knob.
