Sponsorship Levels
www.multispecies.com is a cost-effective and firmly established marketing niche for fishing and related business. If you are looking for an untapped, fishing market to expand your fishing business into, you will find it here (3,000 links, 40,000 hits a month, fishing forums, and regular memberships). Our membership and alumni include more than a hundred multi-species competitors and fishing professionals. Members and alumni of the Minnesota Multi-Species league fish all levels of competition from local events to professional tournament series, such as the Professional Walleye Trail, World Walleye Association, NAWA, and RCL league. We hold fishing seminars at local sponsors and regularly introduce new anglers to fishing. Local media covers our events regularly in the local newspapers, websites, and television reports.
