At Coda Lures, we believe in more than just making great fishing gear—we believe in giving back to the community that has given so much to us.
Fishing is more than a sport; it’s a way to connect, heal, and inspire. That’s why we proudly support organizations that use fishing and the outdoors to make a real difference in people’s lives.
We partner with groups that provide life-changing experiences for veterans, first responders, children with special needs, and individuals facing serious health challenges.
These organizations harness the power of fishing to create joy, build community, and offer healing—whether through therapeutic outings, mentorship programs, or fundraising efforts for critical causes.
By sponsoring these incredible initiatives, we aim to give back to those who serve, support families in need, and ensure that fishing remains an accessible and meaningful experience for all. Below, you’ll find the organizations we proudly stand behind—each one making an impact through the sport we love.
JMB FISHING FOUNDATION
JMB Fishing Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to creating meaningful experiences by connecting children with terminal illnesses and special needs to veterans, wounded warriors, and outdoor enthusiasts through fishing and hunting adventures. Established in 2018 by Jimmy Bennett, inspired by a poignant encounter with a young girl battling diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (D.I.P.G.), the foundation aims to offer joy and lasting memories to those facing significant challenges. By facilitating these unique outdoor experiences, JMB Fishing Foundation not only provides respite and happiness to the children but also fosters a supportive community that bridges diverse groups, enriching the lives of all participants. https://jmbfishing.org/
C.A.S.T. FOR KIDS
PINK FISHING
Fishers of Men National Tournament Trail (FOMNTT) is a nonprofit, nondenominational ministry that uses competitive bass fishing as a platform to introduce anglers and their families to faith. Established in 1998, FOMNTT now hosts over 300 tournaments annually, including the Berkley Classic Series, Fenwick Legacy Series, and RealTree Fishing High School Series. A key feature of their events is the Friday night pre-tournament gatherings, where participants enjoy a meal, door prizes, and an inspirational message, fostering both community and spiritual growth. The organization encourages family participation, strengthening bonds through shared fishing experiences. In recent years, FOMNTT adopted Major League Fishing’s catch-weigh-release format in select series, promoting conservation and real-time scoring excitement. Through its partnerships with organizations like the C.A.S.T. for Kids Foundation, FOMNTT extends its mission beyond competition, supporting families and communities through fishing.
