Well, I only wanted to go for the Tiger Tubes and listen to the speakers. YEAH RIGHT like that happened. As I paw through my loot I managed to acquire:
Holoform reef hawg
unweighted Bull dawg-swapped the weighted ones
Musky Magic Slip slider-got bludgened into that one by a friend, lol looks like a great bait though, hope it works like the magic maker
Fuzzy duzzit biggun, can't wait to try this on suspended fish with the line counter reels I got grom the swap
3-4 videos to keep me drueling all winter
Tony Rizzo book for insomniac nights
Bear Claw
Raddog spinnerbait
6500 C3 to replace the 7000 I swapped
GPS unit
Looked hard at the Big Daddy's and Doc's but managed to get a bigdaddy and jackpot at the swap for an introductory offered price
The supertopraider I had already, almost got the Peacemaker, I didn't see it work, but heard it was a big hit at the pool. Yep, will have one by the opener lol.
I'm sure there is more stuff here somewhere, I have 3 days to hide it as I work my way home.
I think ToddM said it best, God help me

oh yeah and Tiger Tubes !!![:praise:]

Just got back and I'm already musing on the "shoulda's", but here's some of the "did's":

beckman magnum pen...$105
2 docs...............$28
cobbs crazy shad.....$20
depthradier..........$15
phantom..............$25
spinnerbait..........$15
gator grip...........$7
salmo fatso..........$16
tuf-line (450yds)....$10
manta................$18
touching every sweet lure known to man,
eating 57 bucks worth of Chicago pizza
and playing pool v-ball until the wee
hours of the morning at our hotel......priceless.
Some things money can't buy, everything else should
be a musky lure.

LOL GregM, I thought it was YOU would bungled me into buying one [:sun:] I hope it will be a good one. I bought too much stuff. The swap is where all the deals were. I think I got rid of 30 lures I never through and got many lures I wanted to buy (or did buy) at the show. I recomend it for all those "penny pinchers" out there.

It was great meeting many of you there this weekend. I'm looking forward the the MN show this March and to next years Chi-town show.

This brings up a good point, what are the chances of doing the swap on Fri. nite next year to get deals on lures we want?? I tried holding out till Sunday to buy but cracked early. Some people might want to try a lure for $5-$10 first instead of the standard $20-$25. Just a thought. The swap meet is only going to get bigger.

I opened my wallet just a little Sunday.

1 - Custom Jerko
1 - Custom Squirko

Just couldn't break my habit. I'm so bad[:halo:]

Also wanted to say thanks to everyone who stopped by the Hellraiser Booth and said HI and also let me get them to buy a lure too![:bigsmile:]

Talk about going back into the archives. I found a Muskie First post by someone named Rob who bought a Stealth by Topline Tackle at one of the winter muskie shows back in 2002. Can anyone put me in touch with Topline Tackle (if it still exists) or the person who used to own/run that business. From what I remember they were from Minnesota. Would appreciate any info you have. I'm trying to replace my lost bumble bee Stealth by Topline Tackle.

Thanks,
