Our Commitment to IGFA

 
 

Purpose

 
 
 
International Game Fish Association The official Site of IGFA, learn more about the details of the program
   
Our Goals  The Step above Fishing Systems is giving 1 membership for 1 year each unit purchased
  by an individual.
   

Rationale

 
Since 1972 we have had a decline in the purchase of hunting and fishing license sales nationwide of
25%.  100,000 youth and 100,000 angler members in IGFA and a sustained effort in the years to come
will have a positive effect on our industry.
 
The new anglers over the years will generate revenue to assist the states in wildlife management
with increased revenue.  Also the increased tackle sales will generate sales taxes for the states and
the 10% Federal Excise tax will enable the US Fish and Wildlife to work on more habitat and do more
to preserve our "Wild Areas of Our Country"
 
Angling and sportfishing is a lifelong sport enjoyed by people of all ages.  In many areas of the United
States we have lost a complete generation of knowledgeable individuals and training programs will
need to be in place to educate the public.
 
Membership in IGFA will improve a persons view of the sportfishing world and will allow the angler
to be more properly informed in all issues of sportfishing.
