Any of you guys know any big companies out there that would be glad to sponsor a HS fishing team? Thanks, BK

_{Hi BK,}

_{I started a high school bass fishing team last year and your conumdrum has been where I have spent the majority of time. I will tell you the "big" companies I have talked to/emailed were not real cooperative. I have never before solicited for a sponsorship, but found out a couple of things:}

_{1. Don't hesitate to ask local businesses that enjoy the outdoors, but are unrelated to fishing. They have been the reason we still have a bass team.}

_{2. If you have any sportsman's clubs in your area, hit them up...they are usually looking for places to help out the youth. Our local club earmarks $300 each year for us...I have heard of other clubs giving $500 or more.}

_{3. Lure companies would be great, but if you get enough local money, you can purchase lures/tackle for the youth with that money.}

_{4. Pradco, St. Croix, Lew's, and Pure fishing would be four I would recommend you get a hold of. They are not going to give away free things, but you might end up getting a decent percentage off their goods.}

_{Feel free to message me if you have any more questions...I don't hop on this site more than once every two weeks so be patient with me!}
