declaring your manufacturer/distributor allegiances

[Bugatti]

Only allied to discounts and specials. If i had to name-drop anything, id say ive been happy with anything Abu garcia and berkley. Flashy, i know!

I'd second the Abu Garcia Mr Camper :thumbsup:

We got mate Don a combo 7000 reel with an Abu Garcia rod (and a baseball cap ) for his Birthday. I have seen him pummel that outfit with all and sundry and it still ticks over as new.

Cheers, Bugatts

Thanks for the reply Rick, i knew you would be able to shed some light on the situation.
can you elaborate a bit more on the differences between the pro tournament angler and the field staff, im quite interested to know whats involved, and what the sponsored anglers have to do as part of their role in the company, and how things are done even as a general rule, and not so much as to what goes on at Juro ozpro.
i understand if its something you do not want to share publicly.

ps - the new cyber vibe colours are Mint, i wish i could have had some when i was down gippy to see how they went on the bream.
cheers

Hi Purple,

There is a great article that Brad Sissins wrote in the 2013 ABT Tournament Guide when he was the Marketing Manager for Diawa.
It was a great article and gave a full in site into Sponsorship from both sides of the fence and explains pretty much everything and even how to go about and not how to go about looking for Sponsorship. I'll see if I can dig up the Article.

Hi Steve,

Here's a link to the Magazine with the Article starts on Page 100

Both great reels and rods :thumbsup:

Yea and i matched up stradic 3000 to a Shimano cranx 2 to 5 kg as a light outfit

And a stradic 2000 with Shimano radier 2 to 4kg as a squid rod
