Hey buddy I am young to (18) and I tried like you were to get a sponsor for so long and never got one. So I just went out and fished and let them come to me, it might be hard to do this because it seems like you need one and I know you really want one, but remain patient and go out and win that Angler if the year. See what win it last year points wise and make that your goal. A sponsor wants success and until I was able to do that ( win our state championship) I did not have one. Go out and get it
