Top Stick Teams Lowers Cost of Entry

John Barron · Post by **John Barron** » Wed Feb 09, 2011 5:51 am

I want to thank Five Star Gas and Gear http://www.fivestargas.com (part of the Matheson Welding Supply Companies) for their support of our industry allowing Top Stick Teams to lower the fees by covering the event fees. This lowers the cost to you the angler by $15 per event.

Al Wilkins of Five Star Gas and Gear, an avid salt water angler, wants to get involved in our sweetwater sport and has jumped in to help support our series.

"I look forward to this series and hope to get involved in some actual bass fishing this year. We at Five Star enjoy the outdoors and especially fishing and hunting and we are extremely excited at the opportunity to get involved in this series. We hope to see several Father and Son plus Husband and Wife Teams participate" commented Wilkins Senior Sales Rep for Southern California. TST is happy to welcome Five Star to the family of sponsors.

Watch for more announcements soon.

That's a heck of an idea John B. Congrats on thinking outside the box to get anglers fishing.

I hope this helps a bit in this tough economy. We are trying to make it easier to come out and fish our tournaments.

Hey Ray - About three months ago I asked John Barron if he was planning to do something about the date conflict between Top Stick Teams and AC So Cal on May 7th and have heard nothing back. You would probably draw quite a few of the AC So Cal guys if this date conflict didn't exist. Brian Linehan is flat kicking a$$ in the So Cal area and it probably wouldn't be wise to go head-to head with him. Just my $.02.
