Best Practices

• •Speak Angler-to-Angler: Use language and terminology that resonates with the catfishing community. Show you understand their challenges and aspirations. (e.g., "PB" for personal best, "skunked," specific rig names).
• •Emphasize Strength and Reliability: Consistently highlight the durability, power, and toughness of the products, using strong verbs and confident statements. The "Sumo" name itself implies this.
• •Be a Guide, Not Just a Seller: Frame content around helping anglers improve. Offer actionable advice, tips, and insights alongside product information. Reinforce the brand's values of Guidance and Sharing Knowledge.
• •Back Claims with Proof (and Personality): Share real stories, testimonials, and founder experiences (like big catches) to build credibility and make the brand relatable. The founder's direct involvement is a key asset.
• •Maintain a Tone of Passionate Authority: Combine deep knowledge and expertise with genuine enthusiasm for the sport. Let the passion for catfishing shine through in all communications, reinforcing that the brand is run by dedicated anglers.
