Lures for Yakfest II - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The question was raised on an earlier post about how to get sponsers aboard for Yakfest II.

This is one way. At the first fest ,I gave out lure bags with assorted lures. The one lure that got the best response was the Wave Tiki Kicken Shrimp. A few people asked about it and where to get it. I told them I got it from Overstockbait.com. I hope they bought some, it's a great lure.
I wrote Overstock and told them about the fest

and how the lures went over. I also wrote a positive review on their website. Bill from Overstock wrote back and asked me if he had ever sent me some free lures. If not then he would send some clones of some Yum brand baits for me to share. I'm not sure what lures are being sent or how many, but it's a start. Again I don't work for them, I'm just impressed by their personal service, selection and prices.

So, Yakfest II may not have a sponser, but it does have a patron.
Looking forward the next Fest or at least a big meet and greet to share some lures.
