That's a big can of worms. But in it's simplest form it is:

A sponsor provides either cash or products in exchange for the angler
becoming a spokesperson for them. There are varying degrees of sponsorship
based on the advertising budget of the sponsor and the Pro's name
recognition - skills, potential for producing return on investment etc.

I would like to get a consensus on what people believe a sponsor is
suppose
to do. The reason I ask, is because I see a statement like this quite
often: "Yeah, I am sponsored by X Company and I just bought my X brand
boat
(truck, rod, reel, etc) ." . . . .
