Boyd Duckett Introduces New Rod Company Classic winner "re-assembles" award-winning design team; Introduces rods that will utilize microguide technology DEMOPOLIS, Alabama -- Boyd Duckett, the 2007 Bassmaster Classic champion and one of the top professional anglers on the ESPN BASS Elite Series tour, announced today that he has established an Alabama-based company that will produce innovative, high-end fishing rods that introduce microguide technology. The new company, Duckett Fishing LLC, will manufacture rods that were created and tested by industry-leading designers and professional anglers. The ultra-lightweight rods -- called "MicroMagic" -- offer unmatched sensitivity and, because of the rods' microguides, will allow anglers to significantly increase their casting distance and accuracy, Duckett said. Duckett will use MicroMagic rods competitively beginning in February at the 2010 Bassmaster Classic. He added that other pro anglers will soon join Duckett Fishing's professional staff. "I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about this venture. What we're doing at Duckett Fishing is making rods that take existing technology to a whole new level. What we've done with microguides is extremely special and ahead of the curve. We developed these rods by getting a lot of input from custom rod builders who know what they're doing. Then we combined that with the best kind of research and development -- on the water testing by pro anglers," Duckett said. "Our company slogan is, "Driven by pros, not by profits.' What that means is that our rods were developed literally by and for pros, so people who buy this rod will be getting a rod that professionals built and like. I'll be fishing with them in the Classic. But the second part of this is that our decisions won't be "corporate-style" decisions. We don't intend to cut corners and offer an inferior product. We're committed to producing rods that truly help anglers." Duckett Fishing was incorporated earlier this month and is based in Demopolis, Alabama. Duckett is the only BASS Elite Series angler to ever start and manage a major fishing products company. Duckett said the rods will be available online through the company Web site, www.duckettfishing.com. Next year the rods will be available in retails stores. As he established the new company, Duckett re-assembled the development team that created the award-winning prototype for Carrot Stix fishing rods, popular, light-weight orange rods. Duckett and designer Ken Whiting were instrumental in the initial development and branding success attributed to Carrot Stix. Earlier this year, however, Duckett severed ties with the manufacturer and distributor of Carrot Stix: Toronto, Canada-based E-21. Duckett split with E-21 primarily because of what he described in a July 2009 news release as concerns "about the general quality of the rods being made and how warranties are being honored." In splitting with E-21, Duckett stated that the rods weren't being produced as they were initially designed. The split with E-21 prompted Duckett's decision to create his own company. Whiting and E-21 executive Sean Schuyler have joined Duckett at Duckett Fishing. "This is the right thing to do. We have assembled a terrific team, and we're hitting the ground running. We'll have some exciting announcements over the next few months," Duckett said. "But what is so significant is we finally have full control of quality and production and can offer the public innovation that's not purely profit driven." The 2010 Bassmaster Classic will be held in February on Lay Lake, near Birmingham, Alabama. Duckett won the 2007 Classic, which was also held on Lay Lake. "It will be pretty special to be using these new rods at Lay Lake during the greatest fishing tournament in the world," Duckett said. "I can't over-emphasize how terrific it is to be working with the folks who are coming to Duckett Fishing, and I promise that we will work as hard as we can work to produce and deliver exceptional rods. Our goal is to offer anglers state-of-the-art technology that gives them an advantage on the water." Although he had spent more than 20 years fishing competitively, Duckett burst onto the national stage in 2007 when he won the Bassmaster Classic and the Bassmaster Legends, a "major" tournament. That year, Duckett set a single-season BASS earnings record. He also won the title at the 2007 Ultimate Match Fishing competition, a made-for-television event featured on the Outdoor Channel. In addition to Duckett Fishing, Duckett also owns a successful product-transport business: Southern Tank Leasing, an Alabama-based enterprise that delivers products in the Southeast, Midwest and Southwest.

Good to hear TJ.

I had a lady custom make one here in town for me and only charged me $60. Even with reflective markers on it for night time use. Strong as hell and re inforced to the nines as well as some adjustable padded shoulder straps. Double canvas where the straps and blade covers are. You could not tear this if you tried. Great job. I told her what I wanted and she made it for me. Made out of Yellow lightweight canvas coated with rubber on the inside unlike those cheap imitations you find here. She even made me a custom one for my hand augers that have lasted me for 3 years allready and have stood the test. I checked everywhere for one like it and could not find. I have since got her to make me a Boat cover for my Bassboat, Cover for my Smaller John style boat, motor cover to match boat cover, cover for my electronics while driving and one for my bicycle seats on the bass boat.

Sell the car, buy yourself a boat and have money left over. Lol. Good on Toyota to step up to the plate. What happened to Lund, recession got the better of them I guess. Just make sure to lube the gas pedal on the Matrix if you win. Sorry could not resist

I do it every year. Great thing to know. I have had to use it on 2 ocasions and its not pleasant. Does work though.

I always use a Silicone protectant on a dry reel and do not wipe it off. The line conditioner works well also. Then just rince off with warm water. If a reel is properly lubed and oiled it does not need to be re done just because it was in the salt. I use Daiwa outta luck reels as the drag is sealed and its a washable reel. Never had a roblem, ever. I also use this rel cnditioner all the time no matter the salt or not. I fine the sand up here to be the worst culprit on any gear. Salt is the same.

Well said. They have been at the front for organizations since day one. Everywhere you see a kids tournament or club you will see Shimano/Berkley always.

This is a good update for the classic for those interested. http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/tournam...c_2010_liveblog

Wow!!!! One year has went by so fast. Just seems like yesterday that my Daughter was born. Yesterday we celebrated her first birthday. What a joy it is to be a Daddy. I cant wait to get her out fishing, I dont care even if its for Carp. She has finally fit into her My First fishing hat as well.

I think JPD is correct . Shimano does get included here or at least it always did. To be honest they have some good rebates that exceed these anyways. I may not like some of their products but they have done an amazing job at supporting kids always and foremost out front when it comes to this.

You cant charge 1 regular and 2 deep cycle batteries on a 3 bank charger. Trolling motor batteries need to take a slow deep charge. You should get a 2 bank charger and your motor takes care of the Crankin/Starting battery. I would go for a 2 bank 10/10 charger for faster charges or if you can wait the 8-10 hours it takes for a 5/5/2bank then go for it.

I dont think you can get one that is all in one for both trolling motor and crankin batteries. You need to charge the crankin one from your motor.

Great product TJ. I was talking to him myself. Funny guy as well.
