My name is Frank Adams. I live in Elkhart, Indiana, where I fish anywhere from 3 to 5 tournaments a month. I have only been fishing bass tournaments for about 2 years. My partner is my father, whom is a live-bait fisherman, however, I am in the process of converting him into bass angler. He does really well if the fish are biting on plastics, which is great. We have won 2 tournaments, and we have placed in the Top 10 several times. We have come a long way since we have started.
I have a crank bait sponsor, which has helped with baits and tips which come a great angler as well as a great man. I have been with him for the entire 2005 season and I have helped him with getting sales up by passing out flyers and cards at all the tournaments in which I participated. As of now, he is working on getting his custom painted and hand-carved balsa baits in local shops. I take the extra steps to get him and his baits noticed, as we have stickers on our Ranger, as well as the vehicles we drive.
I would like to become sponsored with a manufacturer who hand pours Senko-style worms, soft jerk baits, and other finesse plastics, while using anise oil. In my opinion, anise oil is a great scent, which I have found from other baits I have used. I am willing to try new colors, sizes, and shapes, etc.
As for jigs, I am really becoming more addicted to them, and I hear that handmade jigs are the hot item these days. I am willing to go the extra mile to get your baits sold and known. I will go the extra steps, as I have for Brian with his crank baits, and I will try to get them into local shops when you are ready.
I fish anytime there is enough daylight, and I am not working. Please feel free to e-mail me for more information. Also, feel free to ask questions concerning about the fishing that my father and I do. I will give you complete and accurate answers.
I can not wait to join your team. Thanks and God Bless!
Frank Adams ;D
