The Tampa Bay Spearfishing Club would like to formally invite you to our Charity Spearfishing Challenge, April 12-14, 2013. We are proud to donate each year to over five different charities and that is all possible because of the Sponsors and participants support.

We want to start thanking our sponsors for stepping up and let the divers know what's waiting for them on this years Tampa Bay Spearfishing Challenge prize table. (Remember, all prizes are given out to ALL the participants in a random manner - only one ticket per person)!

Ken Jones is a huge supporter of all the Spearfishing tournaments and offers the top rated Deathstick custom guns with excellent customer service. Once again Ken is a platinum sponsor for the Tampa Bay Spearfishing Challenge. He is donating one of his new style guns for the Charity Raffel so be sure and buy tickets at the kick off party, captains meeting or weigh in for the tournament. He is also putting up a gift certificate for $250 off one of his guns for the random prize table. Thanks again to Ken for his continued support!

The staff and spearfishing crew at Aquatic Obsessions is "of course" a Platimum Sponsor for 2013. We will be giving another week of getaway fun to the beaches and tranquility of Cocoa Beach, Florida. One week on the beach in your own time share for you and your family and friends. This trip is worth over $1000. Good luck!

The creative minds at REACTOR WATCHES, Jimmy and Scotty, are stepping up again to support the spearfishing community by sponsoring this years Tampa Bay Spearfishing Challenge (that's right, Reactors will be on the table). These watches have the best warranty in the biz. Made tough and look classy. I have been wearing the same Reactor on each dive trip for the past six years and it takes all the abuse a big clumsy diver can dish out.

Mares has stepped up again this year and will be sending some great spearfishing gear for the prize table.

TBSC appreciates Mares corporation mission to share it's passion with the divers of the Tampa Bay Spearfishing Challenge.

Thanks to Jeff Saenger and the staff at Mares for their support as a Gold sponsor for this event.

We have an exciting addition to the prize table from one of the best and most innovative custom gun builders on our coast! Randy (Wrasselin) on the board was extremely generous in personally donating this custom bamboo and Sapele extended rear handle to the prize table. It has an embedded magnetic open track that holds the shaft in place (even upside down), light bamboo layers with a beautiful sapele underside, rounded open muzzle, new top of the line JBL handle and trigger, and a breakaway rig. I could not believe how light and balanced this gun is for a 48" wooden gun! Huge thanks to Randy for a generous personal donation for several good causes-pictures absolutely do not do his work justice. This is an individual donation but if you ever see Randy put one of his personal guns up for sale you need to jump on it!

I really like that polespear that Eric makes. It is very lightweight and well built. I just put a slip tip on mine for next blue water trip- I can't wait to try it. Thanks Eric!
