Looking for Swede Stainless Stik

I posted recently about a fishing rod I had lost (long story involing a
jet ski impeller). This rod was apparently my mother in law's favorite
rod for some reason. At the time, I had no idea the make/model of the
missing rod. I only had one obscure picture of it here.

I now know that this rod is called a Stainless Stik made by Swede. It
was sold in WalMart stores a while ago, but apparently is no longer
carried. I thought for sure knowing the make/model of the rod would
make it easier to locate, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Anybody have one of these they'd be willing to sell? I'll pay a good
price to get out of hot water.

Yes, I've contacted them already. They directed me to their
wholesaler, maurice.net who requires you to submit resale information
because they're a B2B dealer. I submitted my company information to
them yesterday, including a faxed and scanned/emailed copy of my resale
license. They have not responded yet.

Nobody on the net carries this pole. There were two online stores that
I could find through Google that used to carry them, but did not any
longer. I cross referenced one of those resellers to an e-bay store ID
and e-mailed them as well. Like Maurice, I have not heard back.

So my trail ran cold as of late yesterday, pending some responses from
these guys. But then today I went to a different WalMart store (a
super center in Hagerstown, MD) for unrelated reasons and decided to
check there. Sure enough, they had several on the shelves! I bought
two.
