Duckett Fishing has announced expansion of its sales team with the addition of John-Dalton “JD” Miller.

This strategic move reflects our commitment to long-term growth and strengthening our partnerships with independent retailers. As our brand continues to accelerate, this investment enhances our coverage, elevates our service, and reinforces the meaningful support we provide to the independent tackle dealers. We believe dealers are the backbone of the fishing industry and they deserve direct communication with a Duckett factory representative.

“We’re primed for growth right now, that starts with taking care of the independent’s who’ve supported Duckett Fishing from the beginning. Expanding our sales team with the right talent helps us deliver on that commitment and grow alongside our retail partners,” said Brad Ableman, National Sales Manager at Duckett Fishing. “I’ve known JD for years, competing against him on the water and working with him at local tackle retailers. His on the water and on the retail floor experience gives him a rare perspective that will benefit our partners right way.”

John-Dalton brings a rare blend of deep industry knowledge, passion for the sport, and proven professionalism. A true Lake Guntersville hammer, he has spent years working inside independent retail shops—giving him firsthand insight into dealer needs, in-store challenges, product assortments, and the vendor support that will drive more business.

By adding this role, Duckett Fishing is increasing its ability to serve independent accounts with more frequent communication, stronger territory coverage, and a closer connection to our dealers.

This expansion marks another step in Duckett Fishing’s broader initiative to support independent retailers, grow our market reach, and continue delivering innovative products backed by true angler insight.
