I am proud to tell you that I caught my very first VT team bass yesterday. It was on my favorite JB Custom Rod too! Honestly, I used that one rod 95% of the day. I bought two others from Bass Pro shop, but my hand hurts from holding the"heavy" weight, compared to the rods you sold me. I had planned on taking a picture with the fish and the rod in the same picture, but by the end of the day, the fish were just about dead. I took that picture with my partner, Mike Bylund, and tossed them back. Next time I will hopefully get a better picture, and hopefully a bigger bass!!
 And in case you are intersted in the tournament, it was at Lake Norman hosted by NC state. There were lots of fish, but no big ones. The winning wieght was 12lbs. Scott and Charlie got second, while Mike and I placed 7th or 8th. It didn't really matter to me, I was just estactic that 3/6 of my fish went into our limit.  I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about you.
Tight lines,

The kicker fish that won the Tournament on the James River July 09.  Thanks to JB Custom Bass Rods, You have tried the rest, now try the Best.  After a hot and grueling day fish were hard to come by, mostly just keepers for everyone, (Typical for the james this time of year).  Thanks to a 5" Yamamoto cut tail worm, and a JB rod finesse spinning rod it came down to the feel of a very light bite.  I wouldn't have felt him if it had not been for the sensitivity of the rod, so light was the bite of the 4 pounder, that no other rod on the the market would have come even close to a JB rod.Thanks John,  Dickie D. 

 

 

 


I picked up a 7'6" southern spec rod from island tackle a couple months ago. I have caught a bunch of specs on it and have been really pleased. Today my buddy and I went searching for some trout. We happened to stumble upon a spot infested with striper. This rod held its own. I caught ten striper in one hour, one of them being a 10 pounder, and this rod performed great. I just wanted to let you know I am very pleased with it, and look foreword to catching more fish on it. If you email me back I'll send you a picture of the big striper caught on the rod.

Thanks,
Luke

 

 

 


Let me start by saying that without a doubt JB makes the best crankin stick I have had in my hand. I asked John if it were possible to make me a crankin stick that would handle 3/4 and 1oz crankbaits when the rod was finished I went and picked up the rod I couldn't believe how light it was and thought, no way is this gonna handle those crankbaits. To say that I was suprised is an understatement, not only did it handle the crankbaits but it didn't have any trouble with a 9lb 12oz bass.

Thanks to everyone at JB's,

Joe Langley

Forget about me ever throwing a worm with that rod!!!! Thats the best damn jig rod I ever molested with my dirty hands!!!! I won 2 bassboat tournaments at Jordan and one at Cammack and no telling how many fish I caught in the jon boat tournaments. That rod brought back my confidence in my jigs and if you catching fish on jigs you winning some jack!!! Going to get with you soon, need to visit you and toss around ideas for a 7 1/2 footer.
