Hi, im 16 and i love bass fishing, i go out any time that i can. I live in loxahatchee fl and all i ever really fish is the canals, there not so great but i pull 3-5 pound bass out regularly. I really like to fish and i want to enter a tournament but dont have the money, dose any one have any hints on how to get sponsored?

First, you need to win a few tournaments and get recognized locally. Another thing you can do is write a letter to whoever is in charge of sponsorship for some companies that interest you. One thing that you should definitely mention in the letter is that you can sell the product, that's what the big companies look for. Good luck.

It's like Skewl said. You need to win a few tournaments locally first. Get some recognition around the circut. Then assemble a "press kit". A press kit is kinda like your resume. It includes your bio, fishing history, tournaments won, etc, etc...Include local newspaper articles, pictures, local tackle shop write ups about yourself. Once you've assembled a good press kit, start off small...try to get a sponser from a local tackle shop, or fishing club. Then as you progress, keep adding to your press kit, and then submit to tackle companies. Good luck!!!!

Ok thanks that helps alot, what do you mean get some recognition around the circuit?
