Dream Sponsors and Sponsors you'd never dream of

Back to the topic folks.

Sorry, I did not mean to go off topic!  What about Recreational Vehicle sponsorship?

Just think of all of the logo space you could fit on an RV ( for a fee). The added benefit is saving

on motels.etc. I have talked to alot of people that travel in RVs to attend various shows,

and even with gas prices they save money. That industry needs another marketing

avenue!  I just hope I NEVER see Tampax on tourney shirts or boat wraps!

So for all the folks who would let anyone sponsor them,....does Marlboro count?

How about the KKK?

Reverend Phelps church?

Planned parenthood? (will conflict with the religion of many fans)

No offense intended , I just personally wouldn't play the game if the only way I could do it was with these people's money.  I'm not talking about sponsors that may be embarressing..i.e. Tampax,.,etc,...I'm talking about choosing sponsors that will probably cost you other sponsors and certainly some fans.

I'm thinking that what you are thinking is right and I'm confident that anyone who is seeking a sponsorship wouldn't jump on the offensive bandwagon. Tampax isn't a big deal.

Along the lines where you were going with this...I do not believe that many of the paid anglers who accept sponsorships do it for anything but the money. I know and speak to many of those guys and generally, it seems that money talks. For lower level guys its all about free product so it is easier to justify the use of those baits but I know for a fact that there are guys who don't use their sponsors products yet claim to.

I think Lane has a point that could be used to advantage. After all, isn't one of the greatest concerns a lady has with her makeup is that it can't smudge, smear or run?

What more harsh conditions could there be for makeup than fishing with a 70mph boat in the rain? If she looks good doing it, she must have the most dependable makeup! Could be an angle that the Lady Bassmaster series could use...

For myself this is a pretty easy list:

Dream:

Kens Tackle - a local shop that takes care of everyone as if they were family

Lucky Craft

Gamagatsu

Strike King, one of the few for profit companies that have a website giving great info away for free...

Arkie Jigs

Dodge or Ford

Mt. Dew

Foxwoods Casino

World Poker Tour

Never:

Depends adult diapers

Amway

Any crotch related anti-fungal medicine... the world needs them but not with my name attached!!!!!
