Introducing The First Ever Salt Strong Ambassadors (Class of 2016)

Well, we finally made it through them all…
All 200+ of them…
Yep, at least 200 applications came in to be a Salt Strong Ambassador!
Pretty darn awesome!
And after printing off an entire book of applications (the stack was close to 220 pages), Luke and I spent the past two weeks reading through each and every one, checking you out on social media, and searching for you in our membership and tournament area to see how engaged and part of the Salt Strong community you were.
Note: If you have ever read a 200+ page book and had to do research on every page, you know it doesn’t happen in a day which is why it took so long.
Long story short, here is our decision:
- The Salt Strong brand has exploded organically from members and customers like you, so we decided to reward and acknowledge any of you that helped bring “Salt Strong to the dance” as they say…
- We will have a much larger Ambassador class than we originally thought (as we didn’t feel right excluding anyone that has helped this brand get to where it is today, not to mention, we had no idea we would get so many solid applications). We will also be changing up the discount slightly and contacting the winners on that.
- We will also be announcing another sponsorship level by invitation only later this year…
Before we announce the winners, we do want to share one of the notes that an ambassador left with his application.
I should be sponsored by Salt Strong because thanks to you guys I’m becoming a better Angler every day, and all I’m using is your tips, tricks, and videos to catch more fish. I just recently got my first round of Salt Strong performance shirts and I absolutely love them… super comfortable, breathable, and there is no doubt that this is very high-quality gear.
More importantly, I love the concept behind the brand which is to teach people how to fish, and the fact that it is family oriented can’t get better than that. It would be an honor to represent your company.
Side note, I have a big challenge of my own which is to lose 100 pounds by kayak fishing!! One fish at a time, one cast a time, and many miles paddling on the water! I want you guys to see me wear all your clothing line from XXXL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO XL EVEN MAY BE LARGE !!!! I’m ready for the challenge and here for the long run tight lines!!!!!!
We stand ready to support you and cheer you on brother!
