The definition of a sponsored angler is one who receives tackle for free.... I am technically sponsored individually but I dont receive anything for free - I just get stuff at trade minus a percentage..... however I am a fully paid up member of our local club, we have meetings every other week and organise a full schedule of club only matches so I have no quarms about fishing for the team as I'm not a ringer who just turns up on the day to guest for a team!
