Fishing competitions can’t run without the support of sponsors and event partners.
Whether you are able to donate cash, prizes, services or time, there is an opportunity for everyone to be involved.
Please read our sponsor/partner document to see the different levels of involvement and what you would receive for coming on board.
We’re inviting tackle stores across Australia to be part of something bigger than just fishing… helping grow the next generation of anglers.
Please read our partner tackle store document to see how the initiative works.
