Hi Sam, the best bet is to get out there and get catching, consistently catching and being able to target larger carp is pretty much a requirement. Regularly send photo's into magazines (normally email address' for submitting are listed in the pic pages), you'll soon get your face known and once you can prove you have a consistent track record then you can approach companies for sponsorship.

Hope this helps

Hey Sam, Good luck in the future, as Tom said consistancey is key, reqular catches and geting your name around. Target a locally know fish, this may take you 3-10 years but playing your part on the lake will get you your reward. The hard work will always pay off.

Good Luck

Hi Sam
The guys have given you some great advise I would also recommend entering as many of the big carp compititions as you can this wil certainly lift your profile in the fishing world. You have to realise that the Fishing tackle manufactures get thousand of requests every month from anglers wanting to be sponsered. You have to be be to give them something back for the sponsership they will give you and what they want is great catches its as simple as that. Work hard mate, there aint many people who make monie at fishing you know, and changing your hobby into your job aint always as good as you thought it might be.
