Alabama's Russ Lane has joined American Rodsmiths on their professional staff for 2009.
Lane said "
I've spent the offseason trying out a lot of different brands of rods. No one even came close to matching American Rodsmiths in giving me what I was looking for. I contacted them and they agreed to sign me on immediately. I'm very picky on what cranking rods I use and since theirs were designed by Fritts well, that's a no brainer. For all of my favorite techniques, American Rodsmiths has the exact length and actions that I'm looking for. I'm excited to be starting the season with rods in my hand that I'm so comfortable with so I can get back to the Birmingham Classic in 2010."
We also announced yesterday that Denny Brauer had joined American Rodsmiths for 2009 as well.
