What does a bait maker actually look for in a prostaffer?

In this episode of the Custom Tackle Authority Podcast, we sit down with Sapper Baits to take a closer look at the relationship between small bait makers and the anglers who represent their brands.

We talk about what “prostaff” really means from a small bait maker's perspective, how bait makers choose the right people to represent their brand, and the difference between a genuine brand ambassador and someone simply looking for free tackle.

The conversation also explores what makes an angler stand out, whether being a customer first matters, how anglers should approach a small bait maker about prostaff opportunities, and what bait makers should consider when building their own prostaff.

This is a conversation about more than getting free baits. It's about building a relationship that creates value for both the angler and the bait maker.
