Road Runner Lures sent an assortment of lures and Rod Floaters to the Brownlee Crappie Shootout IV.

If you like free stuff, head over to the Kayak Fishing Addicts NW Facebook page if you haven't already. I will be doing weekly gear giveaways leading up to the BCS IV. The first one just concluded but there will be two more coming up. You may need to get invited by a friend to join the group but chances are you know someone. If not, I'll invite you

Stealth sent an awesome prize pack to the BCS IV this year. Stealth has been a huge supporter of the event since the beginning and we are stoked to have them back. I have been using their Quick Release Rod Holders for years with great success for everything from crappie to sturgeon. These rod holders are tough and will withstand a vicious take down yet easily release your rod with a quick hook setting motion. Find their expanding line of products at www.stealthrodholders.com or look for them at a retailer near you. I just saw their gear at Sportco in Fife and I hear they will be stocked at Outdoor Emporium soon. Thank you for the continued support Cari and Jason.

Bobs Jigs sent a pile of lures to the event this year. Bob has supported the BCS from the beginning and continues to produce quality gear. He is located in the same town as the venue so you can be sure he knows what the crappie are biting on. His site www.bobsjigs.com offers an assortment of styles and colors or if you don't see something you like, send him a message and he may be able to make an item. I had him custom pour my favorite color in a stinger pattern and they turned out awesome. Yes, the crappie love them. Thanks for the donation Bob.

OMEALS sent some of their Ready To Eat Self Heating entrees to the BCS IV. They are Vegetable Stew with Beef, Southwest Chicken with Rice, and Hashbrownlee 😉Potatoes.You can lose a lot of energy while burning calories out on the water. Snacks are great but sometimes you might need something a little more substantial. OMEALS offers a wide selection of meals that already come in a waterproof container and can be heated if you are craving something warm on a cold day. They have a long shelf life so putting a couple in your kayak emergency dry bag or vehicle would be a smart precaution.

We are stoked to have Korkers Footwear as a new sponsor for the Brownlee Crappie Shootout IV this year. They have sent a gift certificate for a pair of Korkers Buckskin Wading Boots. In addition to kayak fishing many of us like to bank fish as well. Korkers are built in Portland and made to handle the harsh river conditions of the Pacific Northwest. Their OmniTrax system really makes wading a river a lot safer and is also utilized in the outdoor construction industry where work conditions can get dangerous.

Really happy to have Lure Lock as a prize donor this year. They have sent three of their tackle boxes to the prize table. A small, medium and a large plus a Lure Pad. This is the first time I have had the chance to check out their products and I am surprised at the effectiveness of their innovative gear. The boxes have a thin layer of sticky material that holds your lures and other tackle in place. I did a test and inverted the box with lures in it and they did not budge. Very helpful when trying to keep things organized in a rocking kayak. Check out these and other products at www.lurelock.com Thank you for the cool prize Stephanie.
