Mr Reese,
I am new to tournament fishing and only been bass fishing for three years, over that time i have purchased several rods none of which are worth the money i had to give for them! I purchased four of your rods last week for a tournament and was blown away! These are the best on the market in my humble opinion. The action of the rods was just what i've been looking for and the price is more than fair. Although i did not catch fish like i wanted to to get a check, I did enjoy using rods that made casting,feeling bites,ect. it made my two days on the water less frustrating, and much more fun! I just wanted to thank you for great pieces of equipment to work with, you have done a wonderful job!
Thanks again,
Cecil Chunn

I recently purchased two Skeet Reese signature rods, a spinnerbait\wormbait model which has quickly became my favorite rod and a senko rod, I own other rods that were much more expensive- a Setyr that was 250 dollars and a G loomis rod that was 290 dollars and a couple Falcon Cara series rods that were 240 dollars each, I wish you guys had came out with these rods earlier, not only are they affordable but they are easier to fish with than the more expensive rods I own, I've had 4 back surgeries and fishing hard for 8 hours straight takes it toll on me, especially in two and three day tournaments, before I would have to stop fishing for sometimes 20 or 30 minutes towards the end of the day and lay flat on my back on the deck of my Skeeter boat while my partner ran the trolling motor for me because I hurt so bad by the end of the day I just couldn't fish anymore, but after buying your rods I'm fishing longer and hurting less which translates into catching more fish and I can enjoy myself without being in too much pain, the spinnerbait\wormbait rod is so light and has increased my casting distance with less effort, and its so versatile I can do almost anything with it, I can throw spinnerbaits, I can even throw crankbaits without worrying about ripping the bait out of the fishes mouth because of the soft tip, it's so sensitive I can use it as a shaky head rod, its just a awesome all around rod and the lifetime warranty inspires confidence, I had a G loomis rod break on me last year while fighting a fish and not only did I loose the fish but when I went to get a new one under warranty it took almost 4 months and they sent me a rod blank and I had to find someone to put eyes on the rod, I was very disappointed especially after paying over 300 dollars after taxes for a rod to go through all that. I can see myself retiring the rest of my rods and buying a few more Skeet Reese signature rods real soon, if these rods are good enough for Skeet to use on the tournament trail and for him to bet his career on then they should be good enough for anybody, I know they have won me over, thank you for making such a quality rod and keeping it affordable
Sincerely,
Shawn English

These rods are freakin awesome...lifting power is second to none, the sensitivity and the smaller diameter compared to other rods is really noticeable...I've just started BASS fishing about 6 mos. ago, and I've looked, felt, and considered other more expensive rods...but when I found out about these rods that were coming out , I waited..mainly because of the price, sure I could spend up to 300 to 400 $$$ on rods, but why would I ?....Im glad I waited....I have got 5 of these rods....and for the actions they are made for....they do the job...and congrats to Skeet, he may not have won AOY, but to be in contention with VanDam must have been a tiring challenge.....next Time Skeet, congrats once again, OH yeah, he did it using his rods...ummmm

The cranking rod is the REAL DEAL, and it outperforms my $200 custom crankbait rod. I have it paired with a Skeet Reese Revo for use with Norman Deep Little N cranks and it is amazing. The flex in the rod is amazing - casting distance was improved and you don't have to worry about the rod not flexing enough. First fish caught was a 3lb LM on the crank. I thought the fish was smaller than what it actually was too - this is a man handler rod. Definitely worth the $89, and will be replacing all of my GLoomis, Kistler and Falcon rods.

Got the worm/jig rod, crankin rod, and the topwater/jerkbait rod. Went to the lake today and i can say they are great rods. For 89 bucks you cant beat that i own three kistlers and while the crankin rod is just a bit heavier the action is better i love the tip. the sensitivity is great. feels just as good as my kistlers. I paid 160 bucks for one kistler that is really no better than this rod. It's all in the name. Like skeet said the rod industry is way over priced, this rod is great in my opinion. My uncle fishes G Loomis and he said himself that these rods are nice and he has returned many rods due to breaking on hook sets. A 350 dollar rod better not break on me in a tourney! I hope this helps some of you guys out who are worried about these rods and oh yea $89 and a life time warranty. Ha you can't beat that for sure!
