Introducing Gerald Swindle’s signature product line by 13 Fishing

Gerald “GMan” Swindle, Two-Time Bassmaster Elite Series Angler of the Year and one of the sport’s all-time fan favorites has spent the last two seasons diligently working with the 13 Fishing product development team to create the best signature series rods and reels ever made. 

The new platform brings Swindle’s wealth of experience and 13 Fishing’s modern approach together in a way that not only embodies GMan’s intense work ethic, but also holds up to the proving grounds of the world’s toughest tournament trail.

The Meta Rods & Inception G debut at ICAST 2022.

We’ve measured it, No one in the sport swings harder. That’s why the META blanks have been brutalized by the man himself. Built on the next generation of Japanese PVG36T an personally tuned by GMan. The Meta series gives each rod seamless transitions. These rods stand alone as the best series at an attainable price. A steadfast principle for Mr. Swindle “You Shouldn’t have to survive on beans and rice in order to afford good gear.”

After spending time with one of the greatest anglers of all-time… 13 Fishing’s design team set out to build a competition level reel based on everything they learned from the veteran elite series pro Gerald Swindle. Successful tournament fishing requires tools that can handle dozens of different techniques and have the durability to last through a grueling season of fishing and travel. 

The result is the Inception G2.

A comprehensive series that can handle everything GMan can throw at it. The Inception G2 features pro-level specs for gearing, handles, ratios, and line capacities. This series has you ready for everything you might encounter on your way to the podium. 

The Gerald Swindle Signature Series rods and reels will retail at $150.00 and be available for purchase everywhere bass fishing products are sold in the early spring of 2023.
