Article: Teens' fishing-lure business is a big success — hook, line and sinkerBy The Wichita Eagle, adapted by Newsela staff

Published:07/30/2017

HERINGTON, Kansas — A national high-school business class competition just took place in California. And

three 16-year-olds from this Kansas town just beat about 90 percent of participants.

The business model they designed for their fishing-lure company was up against those of many older students.

The competition took place at the Future Business Leaders of America conference in Anaheim, California.

Now, the teens are back in Kansas. Their goal is to grow the company by improving the product, packaging and

promotions.

Gabe Backhus, McKenzie Shippy and Emilie Roe are talking about ways this business experience will help them

later in life.

The business is called Double B Baits, and its slogan is "Kickin' Bass & Takin' Names."

Grades 7 Reading and Writing Continued


He's Been Fishing His Whole Life

"This is really very impressive, what they're accomplishing," said Lisa Beye, a business teacher at Herington

High School.

Backhus began fishing with his dad when he was 2. By the time he was 10 he was entering youth bass-fishing

tournaments. It wasn't long until he started thinking about making his own fishing lures.

Backhus is a tall kid who is shy at first but gets excited when the talk turns to bass fishing and bass lures. "My

mom gave me a lure-making kit for Christmas one year and I started making plastics. Things just grew from

there."

Rather than copying what was already being made, Backhus looked for ways to make his lures more attractive

to fish.

His plastic lures include imitation crawdads or crayfish and wormlike senkos. They look and smell like

something a bass would want to eat.

That Makes Scents To Me

"I'd heard when a bass bites, that tasting some scent will get them to hold onto it longer," Backhus said. "So I

found some scents online and mix it into the baits."

Backhus has continued to experiment with making new lures. He tests his creations at a lake in his backyard.

Last school year he enrolled in a business class taught by Beye. Backhus and Beye sought other students who

could add talents to the company.

Shippy signed on as marketing manager. Roe joined the team to help with accounting.



Beye said the project got a boost when a local grocery store owner offered help with pricing. Then, the store

started stocking Double B Baits lures.

Tammie Roe, Emilie's mother, who is an accountant, helped make a business plan.

They've Got Merch

One of the company's biggest successes came with the idea of marketing T-shirts and hoodies. They have the

business logo and "Kickin' Bass & Takin' Names" slogan on them.

"I told them they have to get that one approved by the principal. I wasn't going to do it," Beye said. "They did,

and I think every kid in school has at least a shirt. It was amazing to see how many kids stood in line to buy

those things."

Much of the school year the students worked to improve the business plan they used to place third in the

Kansas Future Business Leaders of America competition. In California, they made it to the round of 14 finalists

out of 112 schools. They weren't called for the final 10.

Now students and teacher are working to increase demand for the lure line. Backhus has some improvements in

mind and hopes more fishers ask them for custom-made lures. "I'm pretty sure we can make about anything,"

he says.

It's The Experience That Matters

Lures average about $6 a package, and all profit goes to Backhus. Shippy and Roe will be paid in money for

scholarships to go to college when they graduate in two years.

Shippy said she's fine with that arrangement and feels she is getting paid for her efforts in other ways.

"Getting to talk to so many people in so many places has really made me branch out. Just the whole experience

of going to California and presenting our business plan to so many people was really good for me," Shippy said.



She said she could start applying to colleges for a possible career in sports marketing.

He's Only Just Begun

Backhus hopes to keep the company going, and growing, through his college career. His current idea is to head

to Kansas State University to join the school's bass fishing team.

Beye has confidence he'll succeed.

"Even a year ago I don't think he could have done what he did at the national competition, to get up and talk

with people like that," she said. "Of course there's a lot he doesn't know, but if he stays with this there will

probably be opportunity after opportunity."

7th Grade Section

Introduction

Week eight will be posted in Google Classroom and/or emailed to families for students to access. It will also be available in hard copies at lunch drop-offs. Students can turn in work through Google Classroom, by emailing teachers with completed work, or kept at home in a binder until it can be turned in to teachers. There are simple rubrics for each assignment to guide students in their learning. Teachers will also provide feedback through Google Classroom and/or email as well.

This week 7th-grade students will be starting a new area of Washington State HIstory and studying different cities in the State of Washington. This will be a two to three week unit with a culminating project at the end for students to show mastery. It will be graded as well. Remember, grades can only IMPROVE and nobody can have a grade lower because of this assignment. Therefore, students will be able to do these assignments to improve grades ONLY.

PE Distance Learning Resources

Dear students and family members,

The physical education team at our school is working with resources from OPENPhysEd.org and other resources to help you stay physically active and healthy while our schools are closed. In order to meet physical education goals during this time students must be physically active for 30-60 minutes each day. Use this physical activity log to record your activity time.

Remember, activity time doesn’t have to happen all at once. You can add up your total activity throughout the day to equal 60 minutes. Students, at the end of each day self -evaluate if you are meeting the day’s total activity. Then, return the finished log to your physical education teacher at the end of the two-week period.

We’ll be providing materials on Tuesday and Friday each week and available to answer questions anytime.

Your physical education teachers would also like you to check Google Classroom for assignments. From there you’ll be able to download and print physical education resources that are fun and can be done at home.

For those that don’t have internet access, We will provide a paper copy (packet) that can be picked up from the bus drop sites. Then, finished packets can be dropped off at the bus drop sites at the end of the two-week period.

Thank you for your cooperation. Stay active and stay well.

Sincerely,Your Physical Ed. Staff: Tony Bevacqua, Angie Bordwell, Mark Chalich, Cathy Inouye

By staying active and completing this physical activity log you’re meeting the following SHAPE America National Physical Education Grade-level Outcomes:

Grades 7-8 (Engages in Physical Activity)Standard 3 [M2.7-8] Participates in a physical activity twice a week outside of physical education class (7); Participates in physical activity three times a week outside of physical education class (8).Additional Points:

● We want to encourage you and your family to be physically active (Benefits)● While there are many links and opportunities on printed materials you are not limited to those

items. (Other activities: taking the dog for a walk, yard-work, etc, are examples of activities) Please complete your log.
