Calling all tackle hoarders!

Calling all tackle hoarders! - 01/19/15 12:12 AM

The Average Angler Project is trying to get unwanted baits, (soft plastics mainly) to some of the many high school bass anglers who would love to have them. We all have many packs of baits that haven't seen the light of day in a long time. Throw aways to us will mean a lot to a kid who doesn't have much. Lets show them our generosity and hook them up! Check out the post on our page for directions if you are a high school bass angler. know one, or want to donate some baits. Thanks guys! https://www.facebook.com/averageanglerproject

Thanks Guys! This is getting big. Bigger than I expected. Please ship baits to:
Billy Cline
2727 Newcastle Dr

Ive had a tremendous response. Over 40 high school teams and anglers have requested baits and I plan on getting some to everyone of them.
Kelly Jones with Kicker Fish Bait co has made a very generous donation for baits the kids will be sure to love!

Do you think they would like any rods and reels also? I've got several I'd donate. Been looking for a kids event to give them to, they all would be good for High School anglers. I'll be sending a box of baits for sure.

Guys,
I am sure that these kids will take anything we can get for them. I remember being a young lad and picking up all of the old plastics from the floor of my dads boat and reusing them! We all have tons of rods, reels, hard baits cluttered everywhere that will be valued treasure to these guys. You can drop off if that is more convenient. Send me a text- 214-777-2693. Also, I can meet some around the metroplex as well. Whatever works better. Thanks guys!

Thank you all for donating to these Kiddo's. We all have stuff we dont need or use anymore.

I want to thank everyone who donated stuff. I gave baits out for two hours Friday night and a solid three hours yesterday afternoon. I have never seen so many people at a bass tournament short of McDonalds. It was truly amazing. I had so many people thank me for this and I want to pass that to everyone who donated baits or liked my page. I want to especially thank Kelly Jones of Kicker Fish for the large bulk donation. Those kids were so excited!

A big thanks to Dean Stewart! He has stepped up and offered to make his place of business a donation spot. He is located at Stewart's Donnybrook Automotive. 401 Troup Hwy Tyler Tx. They are open M-F 8-6. I am ready, willing, and able to make trips to pick up tackle that you guys can gather. If anyone else wants to volunteer to be a drop off point, let me know. Thanks!
