Jared Linter's success this year has turned more than a few heads. The California pro made the Bassmaster Classic as an Elite Series rookie, and currently leads the BassFan.com Rookie of the Year Race. One company that took notice was Powell Rods, which recently inked him to a deal.
Powell president Keith Bryan said: "Having Jared join our team is really outstanding for us. This will definitely help us in formulating different rod actions because he's so versatile and he fishes the entire U.S., which works well for us and our rod-design team. We couldn't be happier."
Lintner said: "I'm happy to be working with a company with a strong tradition, and one that's committed to the bass industry. We'll work together to make great products."
