I got nothing. Well except the satisfaction of knowing a bunch of money was raised for a worthy cause!!

I stocked up on Kramer Bros Windowmakers. I have been searching for those for the better part of the year. I did end up buying my first Revolution from them as well.

The only other risk I took was buying a Phantom Xorcist. I have not heard much about these either way. The paint jobs are what got me to buy. Hook Line and Sinker.

I got 2 of the 9" baby beavers, a Phantom Hex, and a Lee Lure's Boilermaker. jvlast15, you'll like that Xorcist. I threw it a lot last fall and caught a couple fish on it.

12" Mattlock (walleye), Fat Bastard (black), and 10-9 Combo (Octoberfest). I had a few more things on my list but strangely enough I couldn't find exactly what i wanted.
I didn't see Monster Lures or Dadson at the show. Anyone know why?

I am not sure why. I know there were a few of the retailers that had a pretty solid selection of Dadson blades though

Got the 'CROC'' it was really cool in the video and a bargain for a dive and rise these days.
Musky innovations had some cool show colors had to work off my bill in the booth By helping out.
Kramer tails-3.
H30 sunglasses finally snagged a pair.
Custom dbl 9s from cowgirl in metro colors.
Big Wood had a fantastic deal on large replacement plastic tails, 2 for $5 got 4.
Smallest baby beaver.
Some incredible $5 bargains at Sat swap meet
Maybe the best bargain I got was credible source info while in a booth about a off the radar lake in Canada and a area in Minnesota that's booming can't put a price on that.
The expo is like a high school reunion you see all the old familiar faces.

I picked up 4 Wades Wobblers, Two 8 inch Reef Hawgs, one 9" Livid fish off a clearance rack, 3 Ghosttails, and a few leaders. Also ordered a rod from Keith and Pro Edge. Nothing new or too crazy.

I stopped by to check out anything new. I talked to quite a few people, but I am looking to upgrade electronics this year (3 truck payments left). The only person who was able to talk me into buying something was in the Suick booth. I bought a 12" Weighted Hot Tamale Suick. After I get a new GPS/Depth finder I will probably reach out to a few people for lures I saw this weekend. It was good to talk to some people I haven't seen in a while.

I worked all weekend, so I couldn't make it. My wife, kid, and father in law did though, and brought me back a Spanky. Success!

Grabbed a 5" big game for early season river twitching.
Softail replacement tails, a dozen for $4. Good deal.
$5 gems at the swap
Fudallys candy spins
$20 bulldawg walleye rod - 7' medium action. Gonna be nice having a jigging rod that's a foot longer.
Daughter painted a bunch of baits and made bucktails.
Overall, enjoyable as always. I find myself buying less and less and just talking more as the years have gone on. Best part of the weekend was my daughter selling out of her "muskie cookies" at the swap!

Bought 3 Depthraiders at 20% off. Boring, but they've caught several fish on LOTW for me last couple years and I always seem to donate 1 or 2 to the lake.
Also bought a chart/black skirt, flame blade double 10 and black skirt, flame blades double 8 at the Spanky booth.
Bought a used, like new double tail (underdawg?) Pounder for $15.

Finally ordered a 9'6" Thorne Predator. Cried a little even after the duscount (MN tax adds plenty back to the price), but wanted the best Pounder chucker around and I guess it's only money...
