In your resume write down your gpa , if you have a bad gpa, just be like am too busy studying fish patterns and trying to perfect my technique to study lol  . A little joke goes a long way

Really all you need is a ton of pictures with you using there products and catching fish . And try to sell some of there products before you ask them to sponsor you. That way you have a 99  percent chance of getting sponsored. Mostly have confidence in yourself and the baits you use. Dont try to get sponsorships for things that dont work for you, you will never be able to sell it.

 Don't get so caught up in finding sponsors you forget how to fish.... I feel like I have done that lately. I didn't up my fishing skills but I upped my savvy in business. You still have to fish. I love fishing, and sponsors are great to have because they do relieve alot of financial strain. But you have to remember that it is a job too.... You must turn in reports and your grades do matter. If your failing school why would they hire you. That would probably mean that you don't have good skills. Bassmaster893... You should really re think grades. They mean alot. Grades are a reflection of performance, but back to sponsors. Don't start out with 12 sponsors start out with one, then build. If you get too many at a young age it can be stressful, but if you work hard for the company it will pay off. Greatly. Just remember this thing...There is no substitution for time on the water. I hope I helped you out.

P.S. when you send your resume to a company, tweak it a little bit to be geared toward the company your trying to reach!

I have to agree as well. It is work and it seems alot of people don't realize that it's alot more than just wearing a jersey. I understand completely about getting
wrapped up in sponsors and you loose concentration while on the water. I am over all the pro staff for a jig company and
my phone rings all the time although it doesn't ring as much as it should just turn it off that's what voicemail is for. There has to be a happy medium somewhere I just haven't found it yet. Good luck and keep grinding away everything will come together for you.
