Christian Colabelli

Christian runs the Spin & Cast Sales Division at Douglas Outdoors. He has over 20 years of experience working in the music industry and is a lifelong bass fisherman. His passion for fishing was sparked at the age of seven when his great uncle guided him to catch his first largemouth bass on an artificial lure. The thrill of this moment set off a lifelong quest to absorb every bit of knowledge he could retain to grow as an angler and refine the art of bass fishing. Growing up in northern New Jersey, he spent hours on end at his local pond, continually experimenting and searching for certified swamp donkeys! From a young age, he was fixated on learning and implementing different techniques and fascinated by the latest gear. His deep interest in bass fishing grew as he matured. He created his own fishing website and social media outlet, BIG FISH SYNERGY, which is dedicated to the pursuit of giant Largemouth Bass in the Northeast and covers equipment, techniques, strategy and mentality among other topics. Christian fuses both big bait fishing and selective conventional applications to target big fish and upsize catches. He is excited to bring his unique skillset, knowledge and love of high-end gear to Douglas Outdoors and greatly looks forward to growing with this high-performance fishing company!
