SPONSORS & PRO-STAFF
The brands that back you say something a client can't ignore.
When a rod company, an optics brand, or an outfitter puts you on their pro-staff, the industry is vouching for you. Show those deals clean — a real "Sponsored By" section with links — and honor the obligation while you're at it.
A pro-staff spot or a brand sponsorship is a credential a client instantly understands: a company that stakes its reputation on gear picked you to represent it. That's third-party proof no self-written bio can match — the kind of social proof that tells a serious client you're among the best at what you do.
Timber & Tackle gives you a "Sponsored By" section: the brands that back you, shown with their real names and links, on your own site. It doubles as honoring your obligations — most pro-staff and sponsorship agreements ask you to represent the brand, and a clean, linked section does exactly that.
Borrow the brand's credibility
A rod, optics, boat, or ammo brand backing you tells a client the industry vouches for you — proof of standing that a bio simply can't provide.
Honor your obligations
Most sponsorship and pro-staff deals ask you to represent the brand. A prominent, linked section does that cleanly — and keeps you in good standing for next season's renewal.
Real links, real brands
Each sponsor shown with its real name and a link to the brand — the way a genuine "Sponsored By" section works, not a wall of borrowed logos with no context.
On your own site, in your brand
The section lives on your domain, in your look — you present your sponsors, you're not a lead being resold on someone else's marketplace.
How it works
- 1
Open your sponsors section
In your dashboard, go to the sponsors and pro-staff section of your site and add a brand.
- 2
Add the brand and its link
Enter the brand's name and the link you want it to point to — your affiliate page, a pro-staff page, or the brand's own site.
- 3
Add each deal you run
Repeat for every sponsor and pro-staff spot, ordered however you want them presented.
Why it matters
Sponsorships are earned, and clients know it. A brand doesn't hand a pro-staff spot to just anyone, so showing yours is proof of standing you can't fake — the kind of validation that lets a premium guide charge like one.
It's also just good business with the brands that back you. Represent them well and visibly, and you're the guide they renew and reward. A clean, linked section keeps those relationships — and the gear, the discounts, and the credibility that come with them — working for you.
Straight answers.
What counts as a sponsor?
Any brand that backs you — a pro-staff spot with a rod, optics, boat, ammo, or apparel company, or a formal sponsorship. If a company has put its name behind you, it belongs in the section.
Can I link to the brands?
Yes. Each sponsor shows with its real name and a link — to the brand, your pro-staff page, or an affiliate link. Real links are what make it read as genuine representation, not decoration.
Should I show the brand's logo?
Show the brand by name and link. Be careful not to present a gear brand's logo as if it were your own operation's logo — the section credits your sponsors, it shouldn't confuse whose site it is.
