Best Practices

• •Always Lead with "Hand-Tied in the USA": This is the brand's most powerful differentiator. It should be prominent in bios, on packaging, and in ad copy to immediately establish value and quality.
• •Use the Founder's Story: Weave Charlie's story of starting the business at 13 into "About Us" pages, social media posts, and even packaging. This narrative builds a strong, authentic connection with the audience.
• •Prioritize User-Generated Content (UGC): Continue making customer catches the hero of your social media. This is the most effective form of social proof. Always tag the user and celebrate their success enthusiastically.
• •Speak the Angler's Language: Use authentic fishing terminology (e.g., "doormat fluke," "sticky structure," "trophy fish"). This shows the brand is a genuine part of the culture, not an outsider trying to sell to it.
• •Focus on the Result, Not Just the Feature: Instead of just saying a hook is "strong," explain what that means for the angler: "Stop losing fish to weak hooks." Instead of just saying a rig is "effective," show the results: "The gear that gets the fish." This connects product features directly to the angler's ultimate goal.

Social Perception
