Ok they're not Lami, or Loomis quality but. My wife bought me a Browning Syntech casting rod a few years back at Sportco and I really liked it. I went and bought a 10'6" noodle spin rod as well. I wanted to get a couple more med. action casting rods so I went down to Sportco and found out that Browning is owned by the Brunswick Co. and they are selling Browning. And that they shut down their fishing line 2 years ago. Needless to say all Sportco has is some bug rods left beathead . Last trip to the Cow I stopped in at Fish Country and they had one Med/heavy and several bug rods mad . My question is have any of you noticed Browning rods at your favorite tackle shops? If so, if you could shoot me their phone # I would really appreciate it beer .

No! Say it ain't so?!? Outdoor Emporium has been my source for Browning rods for a couple of years. Crap! We are Team Browning. We probably have 6 or 7 various ones amongst the crew I generally fish with. Please! No! frown

Okay, found the scoop, or part of it. Brunswick sold ZEBCO and ZEBCO markets Browning and Quantum and others.

Here is the link to the story:
Zebco Story

Hopefully the owners W.C. Bradley Co will continue the line.

Hmm, okay, Browning is no longer listed on the Zebco website.... and browningfishing.com appears dead.

Looks like Zebco dropped Browning, though could not find any news story to prove it.
