This week I had the chance to sit down with with my old friend Bob Bagby and discuss the sponsorship side of the fishing industry. Bob spent his career working with some of the biggest names in the fishing industry. Bill Dance, Shaw Grigsby, Kevin Van Dam, and yes, even Tom Rowland and many more. Bob has a unique perspective on sponsorships because his job was finding the right people to partner with and then maintain that relationship for years. We talk about what brands are looking for, what he looks for in a good person to sponsor, and how to provide value to brands. I hope that this episode is useful to those looking for sponsorship opportunities in the outdoor industry, and that you will share this podcast with anyone who would find this helpful.This episode is brought to you by these great sponsors:Barracuda Tackle - Makers of the best cast nets on the market BarracudaTackle.comEmpire Boat Covers - Protect All The Things You Love - empirecovers.com/TRPBoat Hammock Stands - Comfortable Boating Awaits - boathammockstand.comThis episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.
