Every time a Pro-Am is organized, it is always very popular among amateur anglers and a lot of them registered to fish these events. But not everybody has a chance to participate to such an event. I don’t know if it would be something that companies that have pro-staff working for them tell their Pros as a mandatory activity to take an amateur or two fishing with them at least twice a year. It doesn’t have to be during a event or during pre-fishing but just as it is convenient for the Pros. I think that it would be a good opportunity to initiate new anglers and to promote the company’s products at the same time and even more transmit the Pro’s knowledge to these newcomers. Let say that a company has 30-40 Pro-Staff, that make at least over a 100 new anglers sharing information and learning more about products.
That can be done at the Pros convenience, I already took three of my neighbors fishing this year and two of them had never hold a Baitcasting reel in their hand. They really enjoyed the experience. I think that could be a good learning tool offered by the company we work for. How many of you did some shows during spring and you get told by the customer that Baitcasting reelr allways got tangled. The usually had bought the reel from Canadian Tire or Wallmart and nobody was there to tell them how to use it. I know that you can find everything you want on internet but a one to one training is a lot more efficient. And that apply not only for reels but for all the products offered in the fishing industry. We all have our specialty and that can be shared all the time. For me I think it would be a great initiative from companies to put in place something like that.
I would like to get your feedback on this and who knows may be somebody will come up with a project that will be beneficial for everybody!
