Very happy to have Altama Boots on the Brownlee Crappie Shootout Kayak Fishing Tournament prize table this year.

Altama's footwear is used by various branches of the military, law enforcement agencies, and other public safety professionals. They also make some water boots that would be perfect for landing and launching kayaks in rough terrain.

Altama emphasizes its history of serving military personnel and its commitment to providing the best tactical footwear for every US military engagement since 1969. They are known for producing high-quality, Mil-Spec boots and tactical footwear that meet the demands of demanding environments and rigorous activities.

Thank you Altama for the great donation and for helping our Soldiers, LEO's, and First Responders.

Happy to have Leland's Lures back to the Brownlee Crappie Shootout Kayak Fishing Tournament. Leland's Lures are the makers of Trout Magnet and Crappie Magnet.

These lures are made in a very simple design that appeals to many species so can be used for a wide range of fish. I have found that baits with this profile can out fish other more specialized baits in terms of numbers so this lure should do well in the BCS tournament structure. I used some of these baits last year and caught crappie in several different colors.

"Leland's Lures began in 1997. It started with one lure, the Trout Magnet. Now Leland's Lures carries many products for trout and crappie enthusiasts. What began as a hobby for Jeff Smith and Todd Gainer, owners of Leland's Lures, has now developed into something more. These two, with many other friends and family, were catching more fish than anyone else on the stream. The secret kept among these friends for so many years is now available for everyone. "The Secret's Out!"

The Brownlee Crappie Shootout 10 donation is for a pile of their Fin Spin Jig Heads paired with their Chart/Red sparkle curly tail grubs. This looks like a deadly combination!

You can find Trout and Crappie Magnet in most of your local shops or online at https://troutmagnet.com/crappie-magnet.html 

Thank you Leland's Lures for the great donation.

Big THANK YOU to Kayak Fishing Washington for securing a donation from Fisherman's Gold for the Brownlee Crappie Shootout Kayak Fishing Tournament

Owner Brock is making some great looking jigs and lures that really catches fish. Geared specifically for species in the Pacific Northwest, his lures trigger fish to bite and hang on.

He has lures that will work for multiple species to give you the best chance at filling your limit. His Electric Eel jigs will work for everything from rockfish to halibut and will absolutely kill on lings and cabezon.

I also like that he makes Flutter Jigs. Although they don't look like much I have used Flutter Jigs exactly like these to catch 13 different ocean species in one day. They can take some abuse and it does not effect the jigs at all. I especially like using them when I am fishing in deeper water. They get down to the bottom very quickly and keeps you in the zone even when wind and currents are moving you around.

He also has gear for Salmon, Crabs, and even squid!

The Brownlee Crappie Shootout 10 donation is for some of their Electric Eel Jigs in various sizes and colors.

I believe you can find their products at Sportco and Outdoor Emporium in the Seattle area or online at https://fishermansgold.com/

Thank you Brock for the great donation

Hagen's will be joining the BCS sponsor list again this year.

Hagen's offers a huge selection of DIY fishing lures and tackle. I love to visit their site and see what projects I can find to customize gear and save some money. They really do have almost everything such that I cannot even list their offerings, there is just too much to look at.

One item that they do make and you have probably heard of or used in the Hawg Trough. This measure device has been in most kayak fishing tournaments and is still very popular today.

Along with components they do offer ready made products from various makers so be sure to check out their online site at https://www.hagensfish.com/
The donation is for some of their 3 7/8 finished Steel Flashers

Thank you Hagen's Fishing for the support.

Please welcome a fantastic new sponsor this year, Pulpo Leash has sent some of their great products to the Brownlee Crappie Shootout Kayak Fishing Tournament prize table.

With the Catch/Photo/Release format of the Brownlee Crappie Shootout 10, and most other kayak fishing tournaments, having a reliable way to keep your phone in your kayak is very important. I know there there has been anglers in past BCS tournaments that lost their phones on the water and had no way of submitting their fish.

In larger, big money tournaments, losing your phone might not only be for the cost and trouble of your losing your phone but if you had a great day on the water you could be forfeiting a huge payout. Phones are also an invaluable device in the case of an emergency or other situations.

Pulpo offers Lanyard and Leashes that will help you keep your booty out of Davy Jones's Locker. It is a very small investment in gear insurance that every kayak angler should utilize.

The donation is for 5 of their Safety Phone Lanyards
This is a small company that could really use our support so please check out the Pulpo online shop at https://pulpoleash.com/... Or on Amazon

Thank you so much Pulpo team for the super useful donation.
