[quote brookieguy1]Scheels rod selection is unbelievable. They have their own brand, like Cabelas, but in my opinion much better available quality. Scheels brand rods range from $19.99 to $189.99 and on any of those rods if you break or damage them IN ANY WAY they simply hand you an identical replacement, free. They have some very nice rods in their selection.
On another note, their flygear is on the high side, but I hear is getting better. I would choose Cabelas for that end. Unless of course it's tying gear, then Fishtech rules.[/quote]
I agree 100%. The thing about Scheels is when it first open I was not impressed. I was in the Fly Fishing, the boat, the Archery, and Bike areas. In all those areas, the manager came up to talk. They asked what I thought would be great to have and actually took notes. Not just me, but a lot of people, so they cared. Cabela's their hands are tied. They can only carry what corp tells them. They can special order individual orders, but not stock the store.
Bass Pro in Vegas blew me away. What a wonderful store however the Fly Fishing lacked big time but not a surprise. They aren't know for fly fishing.
Sportsman's was my favorite store for years, but as I said earlier, since the buy out, the Fly Fishing has shrunk big time and cloths got very expensive.
Byron and Micky and Nate are wonderful guys as I am sure the rest of the fish tech crew are. Prices high, but you need it, they got it.
