fishintime Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 i have been fishing for a long time but dont always have the money to buy all the good gear. i am a great fisherman that dosent like to loose luers and wears the same clothes and hats when i go fishing. i would like to be a part of something or try new things to see if they work. lures clothes boats or whatever. it dosent matter to me. i just love to fish and would like to try and prove if things work or not when i am on the water. or in some cases just be a walking advertisement for the comapny. so how would i go about geeting a sponsor and get seen.

earthworm77 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I'm thinking that this site might be better served by removing this particular forum. It is obvious that none of the newer guys who come on here asking for advice read any of the very detailed discussions that we have had in the past. I'm not speaking for everyone but it gets tedious repeating the same things over and over again when one can easily search and likely find exactly what they need. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 14, 2007 Super User Posted February 14, 2007 Well guys, I (we) REALLY appreciate your professional, real world perspectives. All of your comments and criticisms are always on spot and I sincerely hope that those of you that are "in the business" stay in the game. (Especially JT, Craig, Matt, Squid and others). However, this section is no different than any other category on the Forum in terms of questions and answers. New members ask the same questions over and over again because they are...well...new! So, "What's the best reel?" Quote
earthworm77 Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 You are right RW, it is frustrating when you type out a very thought out response to something only to have the same question asked shortly after and usually the answer is only a few posts down. It is no different than any other part of the board except that it clearly illustrates that people don't pay attention and that might not be an admirable trait to a potential sponsor. First impressions are important. Quote
fishintime Posted February 15, 2007 Author Posted February 15, 2007 earthworm and rw are right. but the reason i posted this is to see if anyone else and anything eles to say about the topic. i have been reading all the oher posting about this and i thought this one was alittle different and thought i could get some other answers. you know the only way to get the truth sometimes is to push and push. but i guees you guys are right. thanks for your input and hope it dident bother yall to much Quote
earthworm77 Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 FT, nothing personal, I was just venting a little. Sorry if I offended. Quote

Heres a suggestion why dont you guys that know all about writing resumes post a guideline in the important topics for all the newbies to use as a guide line make it general no names just give them a example to go by.

Hale Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Im stating this in regards to resumes in general (regardless of industry): You cant show someone one way or have a general set of guidelines. Resumes need to be unique and identifiable to a person and not a template. And again, that would put too much emphasis on a resume when in reality your resume shouldnt be getting you jobs, sponsors, etc. The resume should only solidify what you have already secured. Quote

This has been said too many times in one form or another, yet cant be said enough. This doesnt apply to just fishing. B Quote
