Ideas For Getting Free Fishing Lures

from:

It seems like every angler's dream to have a never ending supply of the newest and best in fishing tackle and lures. Believe it or not there is a way for fishermen and women to get access to a variety of free fishing lures by acting as testers and evaluators for fishing supply companies and manufacturers. Typically the free fishing lures are yours to keep, all that you have to do is keep a fishing journal when using the lures or submit a feedback review within a specified time period. Anglers may also be required to sign a waiver to use the free fishing lures that will allow the company to use their picture, comments or journal on websites or in advertising campaigns.

Occasionally it is also possible to get free fishing lures directly through the company during advertising campaigns and promotions. Watch for information at your favorite bait shop or on fishing shows on TV or websites on the internet. Typically these free fishing lures and tackle give aways are for a very limited time and the company will simply send you a lure, you don’t always have the option as to what lure or color you will get.

If you want to become a tester or evaluator for a specific manufacturer a great idea is to get to know the sales representative in your area. If you belong to a fishing club or organization the rep will usually attend exhibitions, shows or events in his or her area, make it a point to go over and say hi. If you enter into tournaments you may wish to contact the rep and indicate that you would be willing to use their fishing lures exclusively during the event, giving them credit when you land the prize winning fish. Getting on with these companies is often not as tough as it sounds, but it is important to turn in any paperwork required completed and in a timely fashion to continue to get the free fishing lures.

In addition if you purchase your fishing tackle and lures online watch for online retailers that are offering free give aways or draws for free tackle. Often there are not a lot of people that enter these, especially in the off season months. It is certainly worth your time and bit of extra typing to enter your name in the draws. In addition you may wish to consider becoming a distributor or online retailer yourself. Often buying wholesale direct from the manufacturer can result in some free fishing lures with every order.
