Cabelas and G.Loomis.
I read a tackle tour article a while back interviewing Gary Loomis, and in it, he mentioned that he made blanks for Cabela's in the 80s, until he sold the company in 1997. Here's the last page of the article where I found it.
Apparently, on the old Loomis rods, they used something called a metal wiebe reel seat, and the old fish eagle Keith gave has that same reel seat (what year fish eagle is it Keith?). My questions is, is do you think Shimano/Loomis still makes the cabelas blanks? Wouldn't it be cool if all our cabalas rods where renamed G.Loomis rods?
