| Hope they get a bigger venue for Tri Esox next year  |

Location: Wausau | I would find it helpful if there was a handout with each vendor's speciality or show deal. It would allow others to learn more about the sales and where to find certain products/deals. |

Location: In the slop! | Did anyone hear what happened to Gord? I asked the promoter, he said they couldn't contact him, didn't know if he was dead or alive. I hope he is allright, he is one of the best minds in our sport. |

Location: On my favorite lake! | The crowd on Sunday was light. 180 people watched the pool demo @ 11. I had been previous years and it was actually nice because you could actually talk to people without being knocked into. |

Location: The desert | I thought the show was good.....I think they need to look at getting a bigger venue though. The hallway stuff seemed way to cluttered and cramped and it was hard to stop by those booths. Overall a well done show though. |

| I have attended at least 6 antique tackle shows plus other regular sportsman's shows a year, for the last 26 years. I drove from NE Ohio , Friday, for the show, 400 miles. The show was OK, in my opinion, not great. I was hoping for more home made, low scale makers. The kind of stuff you do not see in stores and catalogs, there was some, but... I DID ENJOY the show, but, the entrance and cattle herding, was bush league. I did not expect that. Whoever was in charge of the the fundamental requirement of getting people into the show to spend their $$$ quickly, could have done a better job.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Only so many doors in the facility.
Keep in mind by standards set by larger shows, the Tri Esox is not a big show. It's crowded because it's in a smaller facility, which I like, actually. If the facility was twice the size, there would be people complaining about a smaller crowd than usual.
The booth space there is sold out every year. There were a BUNCH of smaller builders there, but basement style builders that do custom build won't be in a show of that caliber much because the booth cost is pretty high.
Good show, plain and simple. |

| It was a good show. They need to get a bigger place to have it, as Saturday was stupid crowded. Lot of great people and a really good time. Can't wait to get back next year. |
