Cody is a stud.  It should be a great move for both he and SK.  They've got one heck of a pro staff.

It looks like Strike King also signed the Lee brothers, Matt and Jordan.

That is going to be a really good move for both

Cody seems to be really stoked about it as do the Lee brother's from what I've seen. Matt and Jordan have bright futures and are part of the next wave of Fisherman coming onto the scene. I read an interview that one of them did with Field and Stream (or maybe it was Outdoor Life or Bassmaster Magazine, I can't remember... I digress), but he was talking about wanting to come up to the top and be better than KVD, and I think that they both have the talent to do it. Question... Cody Meyer is no longer signed with Jackal then, correct?

It would seem not.  Strike King is the top dog and probably offers more in the way of money and benefits for a dude with a baby on the way.  It makes sense.  I just wonder if he's still with Shimano.

 

Edit - According to his website, he's with Daiwa now.  Daiwa has picked up Meyer and Ehrler recently, good for them.

Yeah, I was about to post that. http://codymeyerangler.com/?page_id=15

Wonder if Shimano decided to go a different direction or Daiwa offered him something better... Hmmm

I'm sure his contract expired.  He was 2nd in AOY last year and probably got more money and/or more years from Strike King than Shimano/Jackall was willing to pay him.  After that, he could sign with whatever rod and reel companies he wanted.  Daiwa would be the top choice.  

 

That's the way I imagine it happened, who know's though.
