Partnership Application
Interested in partnering with BasicGear as part of our wholesale program, sponsorship program, our guide program or as an ambassador? Let us know!
Reach out through our contact form and we'll gladly consider your application. Please note that BasicGear accepts applications year-round, but new contracts and renewals typically occur each spring.
The application covers the following programs — please indicate your preferred program when you get in touch.
Wholesale Partners
Distribute our wholesale selected nets by buying in volume at a discounted price.
Wholesale program →Sponsorship Partners
BasicGear is treated as a sponsor for tournaments and other public gatherings with regard to the value of the product or discount provided.
Sponsorship program →Ambassadors
Receive free or discounted product in exchange for promoting BasicGear products to their significant followings. They are responsible for providing quality content throughout the year to the BasicGear marketing team.
Ambassador program →Guides
Typically operate charters. They receive discounted product and are responsible for providing feedback to the BasicGear operations team, along with photos and videos, as available.
Apply as a guide →What to include in your application
- Which program you're applying for — wholesale, ambassador, sponsorship, or fishing guides.
- Why you want to partner with BasicGear.
- The platforms where you'll promote BasicGear products — Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, tournaments and events, your website, or directly to customers through charter operations.
- How many people you'll reach on each platform. For social media, please be specific — a number of followers for each platform, not one all-inclusive number. For events or charters, note your annual expectation.
- Your handles or URLs for each platform on which you'll promote BasicGear.
- Any unique offerings we should be aware of — for example, a drone or an underwater camera. Any asset that may improve what you can provide is helpful.
- What you request from BasicGear. Please be specific: if you request nets, tell us what type and how many; if you're seeking discounts, tell us here.
