I have started a college fishing club, we did fairly well in our first tournament.  I am looking for ways people have found to help get sponsorship. I have sent out letters, and know people in the industry but they really have not been able to do too much. any info would be great.

 The way we got started was to make a professional type resume talking about yourself, where your from, how many tournaments a year you fish, your achevements from the past, photo's etc. Make sure you tell the prospective sponsor how you will PROMOTE THEM. Start small dont go right for the majors (strike king, Bass Pro etc.) The most important thing to do is show your sponsors that you will promote there product and make them money and dont mess with sponsorship from companies whoes product you dont like and wont use because its not a good investment of your time or there money. Make your resume and start emailing it to companies you will represent with confidence in there product. Remember make them think they NEED your skills to help sell there product. Dont get discouraged by being told sorry were full or we just cant help you right now. I will send you a copy of my Resume if you would like an idea of somewhere to start. email me James.McKnight@cbpr.ipaper.com
