Elite Series pro and fan favorite Gerald Swindle has announced that he has signed with Rigid Industries to be part of their 2015 Torture Team pro staff.
“I’m really excited to be part of such a great team,” Swindle said. “There are some great guys on the pro staff and everyone from the anglers to the marketing folks are top notch. I like the way they do things as a company and they make such killer products, it’s hard not to be excited like a kid in a candy store.”
“I know these young guys like Lucas and Palaniuk look really cool with trucks and boats all decked out with Rigid Industries Lights and accessories, but at 45, I hate to say it, but I just need a good light to help me get rigged in the morning before takeoff. These old eyes ain’t what they used to be. I have a hard enough time getting the line through guide during the day. Now, with Rigid, I’m not going to be fighting mad every morning after trying to get my line through the guide 72 times in the dark.”
Swindle will be running Rigid Industries lights at this Classic and he’s really excited about this one.
“I’m just really amped up for this year. I think 2015 is going to be a great year and I’m really excited about working with and running with Rigid Industries this season!”
