build and came up with the 3 model “Stone Cold Series
”
6’ 9’ composite -“Stone
cold Crank”, 7

Harold Allen: Known throughout the industry as “The
Legend” Harold Allen has several top 10 finishes in the bassmaser classic.
Harold is fishing the PAA tour for 2011 and definitely still one to be on the
look out for, especially in Texas. Harold was looking for 1 rod that would
handle multiple lures. He came up with a feather light 6’9″ rod perfect for
texas rigged worms to topwaters and spinnerbaits. He perfectly named it “The
Lone Star Special”

Gabe Bolivar:
With several years of FLW Tour travels and many more as a dominant west coast
angler Gabe has fine tuned his fishing for all types of fisheries. Gabe’s most
dangerous with a reaction bait in his hand and his reaction bait rod designed
for the popular “square bill” crankbaits is phenomenal. It’s definitely a rod
that will help any angler put more fish in the boat.

Matt Newman: A
member of the Big Bait Posse and a very well known swimbait angler nationally
Matt has co-designed some of the best selling swimbaits on the market. Matt has
also had a hand in designing swimbait rods previously with Fig Rig. Those rods
sold very well and helped many anglers catch their personal best. With iRods
Matt has taken those great rods and improved them “ten-fold” including
releasing 3 different swimbait rods. There is now a perfect rod for everything
from that 4 to 5 inch paddle tail up to a 15 inch giant swimbaits.

Bub Tosh: Some
would call Bub the inventor of punching, but truth is anglers have been
punching for decades. Bub is however the angler that has brought it to the
mainstream. Bub has designed a full line of baits for punch fishing and now has
developed the ultimate rod for “punching” huge bass out of the thickest of
crap! When it comes to fishing the thick stuff nobody does it better or teaches
it better than Bub Tosh.

Paul “Big Bait” Bailey: Swimbait specialist Bailey and Big Bait Posse member has pushed the limits of swimbait fishing and after many years of success with the Large Swim, he felt with a few tweaks he could create a whole new rod. “I extended the rod 3” to 8’. This gave me a little bit more room to soften the tip without losing any power. I enlarged the guides one size to allow easier passing of braid to leader knot. The rear handle has been extended to provide a bit more leverage for bigger baits.”
