Blue Seas Tackle Co Sponsorship Programs

Blue Seas Tackle regularly engages with enthusiastic sports fishers who would like to participate in our product development projects.

Up to the challenge of utilizing a few new techniques and products?  Each year, we engage with participants who would like to try out tackle, lure designs, and techniques they are familiar with, and some they may not be, but all of which are designed to catch fish. In particular, we would like to engage with Fresh Water fishers located in the Murray Darling and/or other freshwater fisheries (upper reached of coastal rivers, for instance). The contributions from your local environment will subsequently be used in the ongoing design and development of these and other products.

Sponsorships is typically for three monthly periods and may be extended or renewed by agreement.  Eligibility criteria applies.  We will only be in contact with those applicants we shortlist.  Applications may also be considered on an ongoing basis from previously submitted material.

About the Sponsorships;

We are a supplier of lures and related terminal tackle and this is where the sponsorships will be focused.

We will supply you with the tackle we are undertaking design research on, tackle that we have designed and new design technologies from business partners not yet available in Australia, that we would like the participant to test and comment on.

Prior to commencement of the Sponsorship you will receive a research package of products from us, and guidance on how to best use it, if necessary.  At the end of each month we will review your report and provide additional research products for evaluation, and an additional pack of tackle you can select yourself from our web store.

Catching the fish is up to you.

Each month, send us your report indicating the results you experienced when using the tackle provided and some high quality images of the fish you have caught.
