Location: Stevens Point, WI | I was proud of myself, only walked away with $60 less in my pocket thanks to the limited 10' weagles which by the way look sweet. Then had to go with a baby Weagle also. I enjoyed seeing some old friends and meeting a few from the boards here. |

Location: Racine, Wi | I got a bunch of DR's, a pike Silicone XXX (very sweet colors you had Baldy!!!), a slipery slider, surface slider, a couple of shakee tails, and some jigs. I think that's all I made it out with.
I also got to eat dinner with a fine group on Friday after the show. It's the first time I really got to sit down with the Worralls and talk. Had a blast with everyone, and demolished some pizza. Mmmmm good. Better than Campbells.  |

Location: Pelican Lake/Three Lakes Chain | I was doing fine until I threw the Baby Weagle & Baby Wabull in the pool. That resulted in a trip back to Baldy's booth and snagged me a couple Baby Wabull's, a Baby Weagle and of course, I couldn't let the full size Wabull's feel unwanted. Man I can't believe the action on those little Wabull's!!!! |

| Got there early on Friday and was able to find two 300 yd. spools of 80 lb. Cortland Spectron Braid (green) for $15.99 each (usually $33.99) at the Ed Shirley bargain bin. YES !!

| what did i get at the show...?
it's very hard to be at the show for 3 full days and not go broke, but i did pretty good at not making any impulse buys. it was great to get to meet and talk to so many people, and a blast getting to help sell baits for Luke - one of the best guys in the business.
- sore feet, 3 days is a looonngg time on your feet
- pizza from Malnatti's (it's good, but nowhere near deserving of the way you Chi-town types rave about it)
- placed a deposit for two fish from Lax Repos
- re-upped my subscription to Esox Angler
new toys?
- Pro Edge custom Diamondback rod (great work Keith!)
- big Suzy Sucker (auction prize)
- Van Halen Phantom (lure swap)
- TrueGlide Lil Hustler (lure swap)
- Krook topwater (Pro Edge)
- 10" Weagle (Mojo)
- Baby Wabull (Mojo)
- Ring Bling spinnerbait (Kevin Cochran)
- trolling spinnerbait (auction prize)
- 5 tubes and 2 rigs (Red October)
on Sunday the guys from Attitude Baits in Sweden bought ALL of the Baby Wabulls, most of the Baby Weagles, and ALL of the XXX Silicone bucktails...think about it, these guys know about catching big fish.

Location: WESTERN WI | Pointer Pride, I see you picked up the ginormus dawg. Do you think it could be casted, or do you plan on trolling with it? I was licking my chops when I saw it, then I realized all of my rods are not up to snuff for that bait. |

Almost bought:

Musky Bling Spinner Bait -- still want one, but in a different color
Monster sized Heli Dawg -- had one in my hand, and thought "what, am I stupid? I don't want to cast this $%*& thing!"
forgot one thing:

| I bought a whole bunch of cool stuff to bring back to NY. Unfortunately, United Airlines has decided to misplace my luggage. I wait years to attend a show and luck has it my luggage disappears. Maybe as a payback, the big man above will bless me with a personal best next season and the ability to talk with somebody in the USA(not India) about getting my luggage back. Hope dwindles by the day.

Location: Kentucky | Justin,
I'll check the name on the box when I get home tonite... you may be right. It came highly recommended by Gregg Thomas (work it sorta like a Suick and it goes all over the place) and the 20% discount at Thornes took the sting out of it, although I remember the list price was higher than I'd like. I'll post the details later. |

Location: midwest | The flying witch was going for 16-17$ depending on who you bought it from. Thornes had them packaged in a clear tube and Rollie and Helens had them loose out of package. They may have been at other booths for sale but I didn't see them. |

Location: Richland Center, WI. | I picked up a rod from Pro Edge, a 12" life like pike, a Bitten Tackle creeper in a green frog pattern, a limited edition Suick, a black double Cowgirl, a black Cowgirl, a red Cowgirl, a LeLure creeper and a couple LeLure back thumpers. I had a couple bulldogs in the bag too! Met some people off the board and had a long talk about muskies on the Chip with John Dettloff. Well worth the vacation day I used and the $50 I burned up in gas to get there. Next stop is the God's Country show near LaCrosse WI. to pick up anything I may have missed in Chicago show!!!!! |

| Came out a lot better than I thought I would. I got a sweet squirko, llungen DC 10, a hellhound, a fistful of Hawgteasers, and an awesome tackle box called a Tackle Tamer from Captain Harry. The box goes around the boat seat pedestal and is made of lexan and stainless steel. The top is angled just a little so all the hooks are covered and you don't hook yourself in the leg. Awesome box! |
