although i have plenty of questions asked by guys who are looking for sponsors that i think this is something that could be addressed to help those of you who want to go further in this sport. i’ll warn you now that a sponsor is not just someone who gives you free stuff. i’ll need more time to explain what i’m referring to about sponsorships; so come back to the december issue of this magazine and i’ll talk more in my article on “How to Get and Keep Sponsorships”.
MOVING UP
talking about success, if you are anything like me, as you have success you may start thinking of moving up the ladder to bigger tournaments. i went from being an am - a co angler - to the pro in the front of the boat. This is a natural progression and i learned more the first year as a boater than i learned in three years as a non-boater. as i had success, i also found a team partner for those local team tournaments i wanted to fish. Then successes in those tournaments lead me to try to find some partners to help me with my “overhead”. i started sending out resumes and making phone calls to various companies whose products i had my success with. i started looking for sponsors. This was something i chose to do; but, it’s not for everyone.
