Scheels ONE rods?

[thatvoodoothatyoudo]

   Anyone know the manufacturer of these 46 ton Toray with Torzite guides $399.00 rods?

   Any idea if they are a rebranded existing line of rods?

A quick googling doesn’t give me much. 
 

Looking at the stick it’s very similar in build to my Legend X spinning rod. 
 

Torzite is ~$200 dollars off the top, so the rest of the stick and components are roughly a hundred. If they still had the lifetime warranty I’d be willing to take a shot. 
 

As a heads up you can get Legend X and Elites on sale often for ~325 from a couple sites two or three times a year.

Maybe these? Phenix website says 'k2' rods are 46 toray.

Is it made in China?  I couldn't find anything on country of origin?

Started as a small hardware store in Moorhead, MN (read Fargo, ND) and then adding sporting goods.  I grew up with the family and went to the same church.  Biased to shop there for that reason, but it is a great store.

They don't come down into our neck of the woods, sadly, but I've heard/read a lot of great things from the midwest guys.

My grandfather worked for scheels, he was the schwinn bike repair man in the basement of the broadway store downtown fargo. 

Downtown closed many years ago and moved to the west acres mall where granddad still repaired bikes.

 

They were short of space so they moved all the bike repair stands, tools and parts to my grandpas house basement. Scheels would deliver the bikes to his basement. Scheels also had him stringing tennis rackets in his basement.

 

As a kid i had many schwinn bikes gifted to me, my favorite was my 5 speed blue and chrome stingray with high risers with tassle and shifter in front of me on the main bar.

 

I met old man Scheels a few times when they celebrated my granddads birthday at work back in the 60,s.

 

When my granddad passed away in the 1992 i helped my dad clean out the house and basement. Scheels came and got the bike stands and the racket stringer but left all the specialty tools and the parts, the parts were new old stock. My dad had an auction and sold all the schwinn parts.

 

Scheels has a huge store in fargo with a ferris wheel and a small store in morehead minn.

 

I always got a discount, all i ever had to say was my grandpa herb works downstails and i got the good price.

Those are outstanding rods and super light.  Highly recommended.

Mine is the Eden Prairie store and it's huge. Ferris wheel, 2 lanes of rollerball, a couple archery lanes, a small arcade and a 16,000 gallon salt-water aquarium.

 

Oh, and they also sell sporting goods. ?

Scheels is my go-to store right now! 

 

I live in Nebraska, and my college roommate in 1987 had worked at Cabela's HQ in Sidney, NE for years...Cabela's was THE place for me for a very, very long time. Buddy worked his way up at Cabela's, so did his wife. I've met Dick Cabela on a few occasions.  

 

When the company went public in 2004 things began to change. It was all down-hill from there.  

 

There is a Bass-Pro across the river in Council Bluffs, and a Cabela's here in town as well.

 

Scheels kicks both their tails on fishing and hunting stuff.  Great store!
