Catching the Montana State Record Smallmouth Bass
It is something that any serious or competitive angler is aware of. The state record. We’re aware of the lake it came from, how much it weighed, and maybe have heard a tale or two about how it all went down. It is something that some anglers chase with year-round strategy and persistence, and that others are just happy to have a chance at if put in the right place at the right time. This is a story about both, as MLF touring pro John Hunter came West to Montana to chase what could be a new Montana State Record Smallmouth Bass. Joined with local hammer Josh Johnson, and Swate product manager Rob Bolke. The crew set out to chase personal bests on Fort Peck Reservoir, and have a chance at crossing paths with a new state record. Spoiler….it went down and records were broken.

Little to the biggest bass I have ever caught and got to weigh-in in a tournament! This 9 lbs. 8 oz. beauty was huge but man I wish I could've got my hands on the other fish that was attached to the crank bait at the same time! It was insane! Some day I will get a dang double digit! 👊🏼 Swate Fishing Suzuki Marine USA Douglas J Salon Bass Cat Boats

DIALED⚡️
We recently dropped some new actions in the Brigade Black Label and Brigade Inked Series rods lineup. We wanted to fill in some gaps in our existing actions. At the request of Swate Pro , we developed the 6’8” ML XF Black Label which is killer for throwing Jighead Minnow rigs but is also perfect for drop shotting and even jigging for walleye.

Another action we added to John’s Signature lineup is the 7’4” H XF casting rod. John needed something to make long cast with but baits while having enough stiffness in the tip to have enough leverage to get a good hook-set. This thing is a Carolina rig and football jig machine. Aside from that, it’s also perfect for flipping and pitching 3/8oz to 1oz Texas rigs or if you’re looking for a frog rod to fish heavy vegetation. This is the way.

Lastly, we did a complete overhaul on our Brigade White Label series. We spent a year fishing this series constantly going back to the drawing board until we dialed it to where we wanted it. The Brigade White Label series now has a more dialed action and features high performance hardware.

It’s been a minute since we launched a completely new rod...KP has been busy in the lab on this one, testing it for over a year, tuning the actions, and getting it right.

The all new White Label rods have been improved throughout, but it all started with the custom tuned MC I-MOD blank. Constructed around 3 priorities...crisp and precise actions, proper balance, superior breaking strength.

It’s the best all-around blank we’ve designed for everyday abuse, on nearly any species, and it’s ready to travel with a number of 2-piece models. Check out all the models at Swate.com

Tungsten Kyoto Weight⚡️
The Kyoto style weight was developed while fishing for bass in Japan's largest freshwater lake, Lake Biwa. Our guide had a unique rig he used after an increase in fishing pressure lead him to try some unorthodox fishing techniques. The rig featured a distinct weight capable of being rigged a number of ways, and ultimately lead to our success on the water.

The Kyoto Weight is 97% pure tungsten with a durable matte finish and laser engraved weight information.
