Team Crappie sent an assortment of their crappie catching lures to the Brownlee Crappie Shootout Kayak Fishing Tournament 8 this year. Everything in this pack will increase your chances of bring home the buckle.

Their lures are well made with sharp hooks and attention to detail. They are at the top of the list when it comes to catching panfish so be sure to check them out at https://ttiblakemore.com/order/

The only thing that really wears out is the soft plastics. This happened to me when I found a school of aggressive Smallies that tore the curly tail off after a while. I threaded on a Mini Hammer and went back to work. These lures catch fish!

Thank you for the support Ron.

This is already a crazy amount of prizes - awesome work, Jed!

Thanks Capt. glad you will be able to make it out this year. I have about 38 sponsors so far so I'll have to increase the rate of my posts to get them all in.

Stoked to announce that Werner Paddles will be joining the Brownlee Crappie Shootout Kayak Fishing Tournament 8 donor list in 2023.

They have offered up a Camano or Shuna Hooked paddle to a lucky angler. These are locally made paddles of the highest quality with great customer service located in Monroe.

I have been using the Hooked Camano for years now and can vouch for Werner's products. A few year back I found myself having to paddle up river on the Columbia to my launch site after my drive broke. The Camano made short work of the run and propelled my Outback with little problem.

Werner offers many different paddles for all applications and types of boats at https://wernerpaddles.com/

Thank you Brogan for the great prize and local support.

Big Hammer Lures sent an assortment of lures to the Brownlee Crappie Shootout Kayak Fishing Tournament 8 this year.
Big Hammer Lures makes soft plastics for every application. Their larger swimbaits are a staple for lingcod, cabezon, and rockfish in the ocean and their smaller offerings are made for bass and panfish.

They have a great selection of sizes in just about every color pattern you could hope for. Matching the hatch is always possible with these Big Hammer.

I used their 4 inch swim baits weightless in Hawaii to catch large mouth bass in the reservoirs in the morning then for giant trevally in afternoons in the ocean. Last summer I used the Mini Hammers on a Road Runner to put the hammer on a bunch of Smallies. They are versatile baits that attract fish in any situation.

Thank you Pete for the great donation.
