FLW Tour pro Jimmy Reese has inked a sponsorship deal with Douglas Outdoors is fishing the company's X-Matrix rods.
"I've been using the Douglas Outdoors rods for the first few events this year and I am thoroughly impressed with the way they feel," Reese said. "There are three things I have always valued in a fishing rod – sensitivity, weight/balance and durability. Douglas rods are top notch in all three areas. Plus, they are great-looking rods."
Said Douglas rod designer Fred Contaoi: "We were looking for a brand ambassador in professional fishing who could represent Douglas Outdoors with integrity and professionalism and, of course, fishing ability. Selecting Jimmy Reese was a no-brainer; he's a quality guy and an exceptional angler. He might be a rookie on the FLW Tour, but he's a very experienced professional with over a million dollars in career earnings through various tournament organizations, including FLW and WON Bass. Not only will Jimmy be spreading the word about our rods, he will be an integral part of our design process for future rods."
