Next 1 Casting Rods

Created in collaboration with legendary angler Skeet Reese, the Reese Fishing Next 1 Casting Rods are engineered from tip to handle for exceptional precision and performance. Built with a focus on light weight and heightened sensitivity, each rod uses 30–40 ton graphite to deliver a crisp, responsive feel that improves casting accuracy and helps detect the faintest bites. Every model is uniquely named and marked with a color-coded logo, making it easy to grab the right rod fast.

From pitching soft plastics to working jerkbaits, the EVA foam handles feature extended foregrips that keep you comfortable through long days of chasing big bass. The soft-touch unibody reel seats with oversized cutouts add even more sensitivity and control. Topped off with premium SeaGuide guides, custom hook keepers, and eye-catching butt caps, the Reese Fishing Next 1 Casting Rods are crafted to exceed expectations on the water.

Rise

Rise to the occasion! Well at least have the bass rise to your bait. If you’re looking for a great all-around rod for fishing topwater and jerk baits, this is the rod for you. At 6’8” it is a little shorter so you can work your rod tip towards the water surface without hitting it, or if you’re fishing in tight surroundings and need a shorter rod. This rod has a medium parabolic action that’s just soft enough to keep those treble hooks pinned but enough power to drive a hook home on a spinner bait and more. Rise out of your seat and go catch some bass!

Jammer

Jammer is what you want when you need to jam a heavy-duty hook into a big ass bass!  This rod is a fast taper and has a soft enough tip to help with casting accuracy and feel of the baits and has the right backbone for big hooksets to jam those heavier-duty hooks into the jaws of big bass. This rod is the perfect action for Frogs, Skipping Jigs, Football jigs, Swim Jigs, Heavy ¾ – 1oz Spinnerbaits, 4-6” Weedless Swimbaits, and more. When you need to “cross their eyes” Jammer gets it done.

Fire

Fire is hot, without a doubt one of the most versatile rods in the lineup! This medium heavy parabolic action rod is a must for fishing medium size Umbrella Rigs, 5”-7” Line through swimbaits, 4”-6” Jig Head Swimbaits, Carolina Rigs, 7”-12” Texas Rigged Worms, Big Flutter Spoons, Magnum Crankbaits, ¾-1oz Spinnerbaits and more. Fire is soft enough to not rip hooks out of the fish but powerful enough to launch these baits a long way and pick up a lot of line for great hooksets! Get Fire and get lit on the water.

Dive

It’s so much fun getting on an awesome crankbait bite. Covering water faster and having bass just crushing it. One of the most important things for fishing a crankbait is a fiberglass rod. When you’re reeling fast or deflecting the bait off the cover, bass don’t always get the bait in their mouth for a perfect hookup. Fiberglass rods have a little slower response time when you set the hook, which allows the bass to get the bait in their mouth a little better and gives you more shock absorbency for when they’re barely hooked or when the bass jumps, they can’t throw the hook.  Which equals more landed bass! This medium action parabolic rod is great for most all crankbaits, lipless crankbaits, topwaters and most baits with treble hooks! Dive into the depths and jack some bass!

Bulldozer

Bulldozer is what you want to move big bass through heavy cover and fish heavy baits. Trying to find the right balance and comfort for a heavy-action rod is always a challenge, Bulldozer gets it done! This heavy action rod with a parabolic bend ensures fewer breakoffs on hooksets and gives you the power needed to fish heavy cover or big baits. When you need to roll up your sleeves and do some hard work this rod works great for Flipping, Pitching, Punchin’, Heavy mat frogging’, 6”-8” Top hook swimbaits, Glide baits, and more. So go bully the bass with Bulldozer.

Blade

Blade is badass! I consider myself a power fisherman who likes to fish a lot of moving baits and cover a lot of water. This rod fishes so many reaction baits that I like to throw. This medium-action parabolic rod is perfect for fishing bladed jigs, spinnerbaits, light wire swim jigs, 3.8” – 4.8” jig head swimbaits, Buzzbaits, Texas-rigged plastic worms, Finesse jigs, and more. Blade is a must-have for your everyday bass fishing needs!
