Bryan Schmitt
Co-designed with Bassmaster Elite champion Bryan Schmitt for swim jig, neko, and Carolina rig.
The Bryan Schmitt signature series is a three-rod set co-designed with Bryan Schmitt, 2011 Bassmaster Classic champion, at $189.99. Each model addresses a specific technique Schmitt developed during his tournament career: the TSJR71MH swim jig rod (7'1" MH Fast casting, 10-20 lb, 1/4-3/4 oz), the TNR71MH neko rod (7'1" MH Fast spinning, 8-15 lb, 3/16-5/8 oz), and the CR75H Carolina rig rod (7'5" H Fast casting, 12-25 lb, 1/4-1.5 oz).
The matching 7'1" length between the TSJR and TNR reflects Schmitt's preference for a consistent feel between his primary casting and spinning presentations. The CR75H's 7'5" length provides the sweep needed for long-distance Carolina rig hooksets at Heavy power.
