As
a professional angler, it has been a long-time dream
of mine to
develop a line of rods that are specific to the individual
purpose for which
I use them to make my living; a line of rods that are
designed by me, and
built from the ground up, to perform a specific function
in the competitive
bass fishing arena. Rods that are consistent and have
the same feel, no
matter how many of them you have. In other words, develop
my own tools
to get the job done in any condition, on any body of
water, anywhere,
anytime. Last year, with the help of Quarrow, a division
of Two Seeds rod
manufacturing company, I began to realize my dream.
Two
Seeds had been manufacturing high quality fishing rods
for several
companies for over fifteen years. Last year they launched
their own line of
rods, while continuing to build rods for other companies.
Quarrow rods, as
they are known, have made a big impact in the highly
competitive rod
industry in the United States, as well as, overseas
and in other countries
in the western hemisphere. They have earned the reputation
of building
high quality rods available at a reasonable price.

Simultaneously,
Quarrow and I began a yearlong endeavor of developing a signature
series of rods,
built to unparalleled criteria and specs to meet the needs
of professional and serious bass fishermen
around the world. This series of sixteen casting rods and
six spinning rods, known as the Dream Catcher
series, is unsurpassed in quality and detail.
Each
model was designed, and thus labeled, for a unique function
of bass fishing. Every aspect of
each rod was custom designed, tested and re-tested to make
certain that it would meet the needs of
the bass angler. Nothing was left to chance, not even the
aesthetics of the rods. Each rod was critiqued
and subtlety "tweaked" to make sure it performed
optimally, yet still be affordable. After months of
meetings with engineers, consulting with fellow pro staffer
Tom Lester II, field testing and testing again,
Dream Catcher was born.
These
fishing rods are part of a bass fishing system. There is no
guesswork involved in choosing
which rod to use for a certain technique. All Dream Catcher
rods have a nomenclature or "use" printed
right there on the blank. There are cranking rods, a Carolina
rigging rod, worm rods, pitching rods, etc.
Although each rod is designed for a specific function, they
can be used for other applications, too.
The
Dream Catcher rods have several other unique features. The
grade "A" Portuguese cork handles
have a unique, comfortable design to reduce hand and arm fatigue
and to assist you in holding on,
particularly in cold and wet weather conditions. The handles
are cut just a little shorter than most others
so it doesn't hit you in the chest while moving it from one
hand to the other. This helps eliminate problems
casting and fighting fish, especially if you are wearing heavy
clothing or raingear.

These
rods were built with more eyes on them than other rods
on the
market. This helps the line feed off of the reel better
while casting by
preventing the line from "slapping" the rod
while traveling through the
guides. It also keeps the rod from turning in your hand
while fighting that
big bass. The guides frames are built from titanium
to ensure strength,
light-weightiness and durability should you have to
straighten out a bent
guide.
All
Quarrow rods, including the Dream Catcher series are
hand-splined
by a technician at the plant. Hand-splining ensures
the angler that the
guides are placed on the "sweet spot" of the
blank, utilizing the full
potential of the blank. This is why all Quarrow rods
of the same size and
action feel the same. You never have to worry about
two or three of the same rods having two or three different
feels, they are consistent.

Like
all Quarrow rods, Dream Catcher rods, come with an unconditional,
lifetime warranty. In the
unlikely event a Quarrow/Dream Catcher rods should fail, simply
return it to an authorized Quarrow
dealer or to the company for a replacement.
These
rods are everything I've ever dreamed of in a bass fishing
rod. That's why I choose to name them
the Dream Catcher series. I hope you will enjoy fishing with
them as much as I enjoyed designing and
perfecting them.
