Sponsor History

Boat brands and long-term relationships

Across the full stretch of his pro years, Jay fished under multiple boat banners including Skeeter, Triton, Ranger, and later returns to those same brands. Salmo Fishing from Poland remained one of the strongest long-term sponsor relationships of his career, beginning early and running all the way to retirement.

The page is laid out to highlight those sponsor periods without turning the design into clutter. It keeps the logos clean, gives the photos room to work, and still feels relaxed rather than overly corporate.
