where can i find browning fishing poles

t-roy · 04-14-2003, 07:09 AM

i bought a browning silaflex rod and reel combo last year at a swap meet, and it was the best combo i have ever had. the problem is that i broke the pole (screen door-not a fish). i can' t find any stores that stock them. does any one know where i might be able to find one??
thanks

search the web i found a bunch of sites by putting in browning fishing poles and if you have to pay shipping its a small price to pay for a good fishing pole that is best for you

i would really like to find just the tip half of the ultra light rod, but i would buy the whole rod if i could find one

i have a silaflex 1000..i used it as my pack reel for mountain trips...i hooked into a largemouth at a farm pond and it stripped it pretty good...the handle wobles now and its not smooth but if i wasnt using it for too big of fish it was a great reel...i love my brownings...i just bought a new one..smooth as can be....good luck finding the rod..i didnt know they made rods...

mauser, where did you get it? i would love to have another 1000 reel, and maybe a 500 and 2000. i haven' t got into anything big enough to damage my 1000, yet

If you cannot find the Browning Model that your trying to locate. Check out this guy who makes customer rods and may be able to build you a similar rod.

i got my 1000 at dicks last year i believe...i got a syntec 2000 there this year..it was normally 30 or 40 i think..i found it on sale for like 9 bux..i grabbed it and walked away laughing!it was the last one and a display one but it works fine!...it has the quick fire system on the bail...nice smooth reel..and the gear ratio seems a bit slow..maybe i wont break this one..if i do im spending the money on a good UL reel...i did it to a zebco too...im panfishing and a bass nails my lure and stripps it good...
