Brownlee Crappie Shootout 7 sponsors and donations

Readywise came through with a really cool donation to the BCS 7. On more than one occasion I have wanted something more substantial than a granola bar while out on the water and a ready made meal would have been great. I may have to take some of these meals along next time.

You never know what is going to happen on an adventure and having emergency supplies to mitigate any issues that may arise is a smart idea. Readywise offers everything from individual daily meal ideas to full on emergency bundles designed to last for an extended time.

The donation consists of 5 of their Two Day Adventure Bags. These are complete meals for 2 days conveniently packed in a dry bag.

The ReadyWise 2 Day Adventure Bag contains 4 entrees, 2 breakfasts and 2 snacks conveniently packed in a 5 liter dry bag. These pouches are lightweight making them easily portable on any outdoor adventure. Just add water and you can eat directly from the pouch.

What's Included in this bag

1 Treeline Teriyaki Chicken & Rice Pouch
1 Trailhead Noodles & Beef Pouch
1 Still Lake Lasagna with Sausage Pouch
1 Sunrise Strawberry Granola Crunch Pouch
1 Appalachian Apple Cinnamon Cereal Pouch
1 Golden Fields Mac & Cheese Pouch

Brunton will be joining the BCS 7 prize donation list this year.

We appreciate all of our sponsored gear and especially safety donations. A compass is one of the easiest and most basic safety items you can carry on any adventure. One situation that comes to mind is if you are on the ocean and a heavy fog rolls in. Knowing where East is can be all you need to get home.

Along with recreational compasses they carry professional transits for your survey needs here

Hi Barb, I really dig this donation as well.

Thank you for the continued support Pete.

Kayalu will be joining the BCS fun this year. This is a growing company that makes accessory mounts and lights for kayaks and other small water craft that are perfect for staying safe and being seen while on the water.

Their mounts utilize suction bases for quick deployment and removal and would be a great option for those that are hesitant to start poking holes in their boats.

The prize donation is a Kayalu Water Torch XT and is
a tall kayak/SOT/SUP light with a RAM Mounts
power-locking suction cup at its base to provide a secure means of
attachment. This product ships as a kit, easily assembling to one of

We really appreciate the safety donation Steve, thank you.

Happy to announce Beckman/Pucci/P-Line returned as a BCS sponsor this year.

What's you best pick up line? You guessed it, P-Line!

P-Line makes top quality line and offer a number of different line styles to fit any application. This is the most vital connection to landing a trophy or bringing home dinner so you need a reliable line. Without it you may only be left with a fishing tale.

I'm a fan of the Floroclear as a leader as well as main line.

They make great terminal gear but this is only a small part of the vast amount of products they offer at http://www.p-line.com/

The donation consists of 20 rolls of their Hi Viz CX Premium Fluorocarbon Coated Line in 8# test. I used their 6# test line last year and it is super nice to cast and mend.

Thank you for dropping us a line (or 20) Thomas.

I've used P-Line Floroclear, almost exclusively for quite a few years, and have been quite happy with it.

I also recently had the pleasure of talking to Mr. Pucci himself. A really great guy, focused on creating quality products, and providing excellent customer service.

Thank you for your donation sir!

That's pretty neat. I remember emailing with a Stefano Pucci about donations years ago, it this the person you met?

I'm pretty sure. Had to be him, or a relation.

ZR Custom Tackle will be providing some gear to the BCS again in 2020.

Kyle is an accomplished tournament angler that has taken the knowledge he gained in events and transferred it over to making deadly effective bass fishing lures.

He constantly tests his gear against highly pressured fish and will usually have some pictures to prove the outcome. Many anglers have already thrown his lures with great results and I must say I own a few Lil Buggers my self.

Support this local tackle maker at https://www.zrcustomtackle.com/  but you better hurry because Spring is coming and the fish are biting and that "Gone Fishin" sign is super temping. All kidding aside, Kyle is as good as it gets.

Thank you for the support Smiley!

Old Town Canoe and Kayak is back as a BCS sponsor this year. Old Town has been in the water sports business for a long time and is constantly improving on their products. Their top quality fishing kayaks are taking the Northwest by storm and they are just getting started.

Along with paddle boats they offer their PDL Drive lineup that utilizes a rotary prop system

 "The most advanced pedal-powered fishing machine of its kind. It gets you to the spot fast, and keeps you on the spot without paddling. With forward, reverse and agile maneuverability, you’ll experience precise boat control while your hands remain free to focus on fishing. The removable pedal drive installs in seconds and tips up instantly for shallow water docking. This revolutionary, award-winning pedal drive hits an impressive 5.5 MPH with a 10.3:1 gear ratio for efficient pedaling."

as well as motorized kayaks powered by Minn Kota.

Add PFD's, paddles, and a ton of accessorie and https://www.oldtowncanoe.com/ has everything you will need to get started or advance in your kayak fishing journey.

The donation consists of 2 OT PFD, face buffs, and some sweet head gear.

Thank you Ryan for the Old Town love.

L and B Outdoor Adventures will be joining the BCS 7 this year. This is a neat story, the owners of this company were the camp hosts for Hewitt park in 2018 then went on to start their own company offering outdoor gear.

Linda and Butch will be down on event day with the donation as well as making some egg rolls for the awards ceremony.

Gear includes:

Universal Belt Fanny Pack

crappie jigs handmade by a student of OG Champange.(not sure how he spells his name)
