Falcon Rods has signed on as title sponsor for Oklahoma native Jason Christie, perhaps the fastest rising competitor on the national bass tournament scene.
With a busy 2014 schedule of national tournaments, Christie will compete from the Falcon Rods bass boat. The Falcon Rods brand logo will have premium visibility at all of Christie’s tournament weigh-ins and public appearances, on his websites and on his vehicle and vessel wraps. Christie will continue to work closely with Falcon on its Jason Christie Signature Rod Series.

“We are all-in with Jason,” said Falcon Founder John Beckwith. “We have known and supported Jason from the beginning of his career. He is a winner, which he has proved over and over with his numerous victories and top ten finishes. Jason is on a roll and Falcon Rods is excited about the rewards this new partnership will bring.”
“Falcon Rods is a great fit for me,” said Christie. “I’ve been fishing with
Falcon since my first year as a pro. That’s thousands and thousands of casts. And I have never broken a Falcon. Never. I fish Falcon and that’s that.”
Since 2011 Christie has won seven events including four majors-one Bassmaster Elite tournament and three Walmart FLW tour events. Five times Christie has qualified for the Forrest Wood Cup.
Recently Falcon Rods added the new made-in-America Jason Christie Signature Series to its rod line, which also includes Cara T7, Cara Reaction, Cara Micro, Cara Peacock Bass, Cara Mike McClelland, BuCoo, BuCoo Micro, LowRider, LowRider Salt, Coastal XG, HD and Original. There are three spinning reel models in the Falcon product lineup — Back Country, Volt, and Moxie.
For 2014 Christie said he would be fishing in as many top-tier tournaments as possible including the Bassmaster Elite Series, the Walmart FLW Tour, and the Toyota Texas Bass Classic on Lake Fork. “I have a really full schedule,” Christie said.
“That’s the way I like to work. I fish a lot of events and I am looking forward to showing and telling other anglers how much I trust the rods made by Falcon. The quality is excellent.”
Christie, born and raised in Eastern Oklahoma, grew up fishing and hunting and started competing in local team tournaments with his dad and uncles. In his last year at Northeastern State University, where he earned an education degree, Jason married Amy and they started a family that now includes three daughters – Ali, Ana, and Jaslyn. After graduation Christie fished individually in pro-am events and, with his confidence building, he began fishing in regional and national events and in 2007 won a Rayovac FLW Series event on Lake of Ozarks. With he support of his family he made the decision to become a full-time, bass tournament professional. His tournament successes and other aspects of his career are chronicled on his websites – www.christiefishing.com and www.facebook.com/christiefishing.
