| Was at Concordia all day helping set up,,,saw the svartzonkers!!! The swim baits look incredible never seen a soft plastic with that deep a color and the plastic is so flexible.
Show is packed with booths most ever. Dress in something cool gonna take a while to complete that first lap. |

I really think this show could be moved to another facility. The weekends are so darn busy its basically shoulder to shoulder near every booth.
Any one else feel the same way? |

This is only my third time going, but each year I've thought it should be at a larger location. |

I don't like the sounds of that at all. I hate when things are really crowded. I'm going Friday right away do my shopping then, Stay off the floor and do seminars.

Location: Minnesota. | My first time attending this year. Leaving in an hour. I'm tooled up already (really!) and don't have the wants...not yet. I'm pretty weak-willed tho.
I'll drop off a couple reels to Richard. Hope the crowds aren't too bad!
Here's hoping.

Nope, just Wes through work.
Anyway I found the Expo very rewarding to visit. Lot's names to visit as well as varied products. A highlight for me was meeting Mike Suick as we'd talked very recently. Good guy!
Many, many products. I did well on leaving with just one bait, a top-water similar to a Cisco Kid and well as a pack of Gamkatsu hooks. I could've spent lots, just really didn't need to.
Another highlight was meeting the rascal that staffed the Muskie First booth. And his bride. We're lucky!!
Enough sucking up for now...

| After first day I know I'd like to buy stock in supernatural,,,,I can't even begin to make a guess how many he sold??? When the doors opened at 2 it was a rush to his booth and stayed that way until about 6 pm..he's well supplied for the rest of show though.
Buying crowd lots of bags and rods in people's arms.
Looking forward to Sat, people just seem more pumped this year. |

Location: Lake "y" cause lake"x" got over fished | I loved the show as always. put a good dent in my list but did not cover the whole thing. that said, a lot of the "show" colors were just left overs from last year. Which was somewhat of a let down. But i still got the things in the colors that I really wanted, including the big ticket item I really wanted in the 12" headlock |

| I thought musky face was drunk when he said cowgirls were buy 1 gett 1 free on day one,,but went there this mourning and there they were,, cowgirls supermodels,JR"s,baby's all in good colors,,Then saw Bulldawgs in pounders,double tail magnums and dbl tails pounders also buy one get one.
Then monster medusas in packages in excellent colors buy one get one free.
Name brand raingear 50% off.
Suicks,topwaters all lures were-BOGO.
I loaded up on big fish blade and big fish rubber and it did not hurt on the cash.
Unbelievable prices on name brand tackle,,,poor girl working the cash register couldn't even eat her lunch she had to take bites of pizza between sales with all the guys lined up.
