Location: MN | 2016 MN Muskie Expo is in the books.
What's the most innovative or interesting thing you came across there?
Besides all the vendors or attendee's.
We all know the characters that have booths every year.

Location: MN | I think that the TrueGlide epoxy could be a very good thing for bait builders I saw many builders were picking some up. Joe I suspect wouldn't put out a product unless it was great. Kodiak Baitworks had some spybaits (sp) which I don't think anyone is currently doing for Muskies. Its neat to see the Muskie Fly-fishing expanding as well. I got a kick out of Jonny Dadsons speech. I didn't know what to expect but I was surprised he's kind of a Zen Master with a deep appreciation of those who came before him. All and all a great show best part was seeing all the families and young kids excited about the sport. |

| The true glide epoxy looks incredible ,leave it to Joe to think and research and take things to another level.
"Big Tasty" I'm betting 90% of you attending didn't see it. In the Huddles resort booth, a cool new glider that has excellent action using only the reel,lots of known sticks I saw bought this one.
The new kramer tail blades that are black but flash white through new technology,,sold out immediately they had to return home and make has many has they could for rest of show.
However the most amazing thing I saw was Christian Laettner on a munchies crave rush!!!! The snack bar at expo is upstairs through the bleachers and he scaled that mountain in like three seconds with his long gate stride,,looked like those film clips of bigfoot going through the woods. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Hmmm, a farting bucktail. At least anatomically, it's correct. |

Location: oswego, il | I am waiting for the rumored bait maker collaboration called the fat Dadson bastard. Part bucktail part top water part stampede to get one! Sort of like puppy monkey baby but way cooler! It comes with a buff!

So basically the Coot, but a fat bastard body instead of just a 1" x 4" board? |

I saw them at the Central Wisconsin expo. I think it was called "The Flatulator". He used spent CO2 cartridges and drilled a hole in one end, opposite of the end that already has an opening. Pretty clever I thought. |

Location: Wisconsin | I use a saltwater jethead (vibration, weight, cavitation) on my trolling lures. But several guys are casting these as well.

| I'm excited about a bait I found but can't remember the name. It's a wood glider with a soft tail similar to a old style phantom. The 6 incher only has a single treble. I spoke with so many people at the show I don't know how it happened but I just forgot it. If anyone knows the bait im talking about Id appreciate knowing the name. I will try to upload a pic. |

| HuskyHawkeye the lure you are talking about is the twisted sucker. It is very similar to a phantom but runs deeper and has more erratic glides. |

| You would think that Laetner would have a great bait that would absolutely kill Kentucky muskies. |

| What are the rod grips called that stick out perpendicular to the rod? Like the pistol grips but not that. |
