Hi, my name is Anthony, and I’m an accomplished angler who has won multiple club AOY's and Member of the Year awards. In 2018, I represented my state at the Bass Nation Regionals at Winyah Bay in South Carolina.
But I’m not just a fisherman, I’m also a business and strategy coach and an expert at sports marketing and management and social media marketing.
The number 1 question asked by anglers is “How do I get a sponsorship?” To provide the best possible answer to that question, I decided to create this summit – which you can attend for free if you click on a button on this page now.
Over the past six months, I’ve talked to top brand owners, pro staff managers and fishing social media influencers.
I’ve asked them how they would go about getting sponsored. I’ve asked for their best tips – the tips that can make the difference between an angler receiving a sponsorship and being rejected.
And now I’m going to share EVERYTHING that I’ve learned with you during this summit. Not only that but I also got my sources to agree to reveal all of their tips and information to you directly.
That’s right, they have volunteered to conduct sessions on such important topics as building a brand, the business of competing, social media and much more. They’ve agreed to not hold anything back!
You’ll discover:
The different types of sponsorship deals that are available (high school, college, regional, state, pro and much more) … and what you need to do step by step to secure one or more of them.
How to avoid the silly mistakes that most fishermen make that disqualify them immediately from even being considered for a sponsorship.
What the top brands are looking for in their product and brand ambassadors and how to demonstrate you have what it takes.
What are the differences between Pro Staff and sponsored and how to realistically know what your chances of either is right now.
How to build your own fishing brand so that you get the right kind of attention going forward.
How to create fishing resumes and cover letters that will help you stand out and get noticed.
The right way to apply for sponsorships – along with how to handle rejections so that the door isn’t permanently closed to a future sponsorship.
How to create a social media presence that increases your chances for getting a sponsorship.
How to transition from one type of sponsorship to an even better one.
How to start treating your fishing career as a business so that you can achieve higher levels of success (and profits).
And much more.
Getting Sponsored is About More Than Being Able
to Land Big Fish or Create Cool Hashtags!
GETTING SPONSORED IS ABOUT MORE THAN BEING ABLE TO LAND BIG FISH OR CREATE COOL HASHTAGS!
Now you can learn what it really takes from many of the top people in the industry.
If you are sending the same form letter or email message to potential sponsor after potential sponsor … STOP! You are not going to get serious results until you get serious with your efforts.
Find out what to do and what not to do at this summit. Don’t make the same mistakes so many others make … the same mistakes that in some cases lead to a whopping 90% refusal rate from top sponsors.
You don’t have to be in the 9 out of 10 fishermen who don’t get a sponsorship. You can be that 1 out of 10 – it’s actually not as hard to do as you might fear.
You just need to know certain tips and strategies and now you can learn them all at one convenient time and in one convenient place.
ATTENDING THIS SUMMIT IS YOUR CHANCE TO CUT THROUGH THE MISCONCEPTIONS THAT ARE OUT THERE AND LEARN STRAIGHT FROM THE EXPERTS WHAT IT TAKES TO GET SPONSORED AND HOW TO GO ABOUT LANDING A SPONSORSHIP. FIND OUT:
The #1 way to become a brand ambassador – this is the fastest and easiest way yet most anglers don’t take advantage of it.
How to create cover letters and resumes that get read instead of thrown in the trash.

THE MILLION $ QUESTION
How Do I Get Sponsored?
Between Google and YouTube I have seen this question asked at least 125 times with probably 300 renditions of the same question.
See, I was curious to know if sponsorship was just directly attributed to a person's ability to fish or create cool hashtags.
So I went looking for the answers. And I found them.
The result was that I then assembled 12 Pro Staff, Brand Managers and Fishing Social Media influencers to share their expertise on how to get sponsored.
This Summit is YOUR front row seat to the answers!
