About Fitzgerald Fishing
Fitzgerald Fishing is a Tennessee-based rod manufacturer founded by Dennis Fitzgerald and his son Trevor Fitzgerald. The company builds its blanks from Toray carbon fiber and markets a broad lineup covering freshwater bass, inshore saltwater, and offshore conventional and spinning applications. Signature technologies include XPT (Xtreme Power Technology) blank construction, used in the flagship Stunner HD V2 and offshore Stunner X series.
The freshwater catalog spans entry-level value rods (Vursa 2, $139.99) through mid-range all-purpose series (Stunner HD, Stunner HD V2) to premium technique-specific and signature models co-designed with pro anglers Bryan Thrift and Bryan Schmitt. The saltwater lineup includes inshore rods developed with regional guides (Flats Class with Capt. C.A. Richardson; Matrix Shad with Chas Champagne) as well as heavy offshore conventional and slow pitch jigging series capable of handling 200+ lb braid. All Fitzgerald blanks carry a lifetime warranty.

The brand's inshore saltwater presence is anchored by the Aquafin and Flats Class spinning series, while the Stunner X SPJ slow pitch jigging rods represent the technical offshore end of the catalog.
