Lance's Sponsors and Favorite Site Links
It has been my privilege over the past 10 years to work with some great companies. My goal has always been to educate and help anglers make the right choices when buying equipment, boats, motors and tackle. When I represent and recommend the products these company make, my reputation is on the line and I take that very seriously. In my opinion, these companies are the best of the best in the walleye world and are easy to recommend. Please take the time to check out the websites and feel free to contact me anytime with any questions you may have. Most of these products are available at most tackle stores, but if possible buy them from Freeway Sports or a Gander Mountain store that hosts the "Walleye 101" seminar series.
