Who's going to the show this weekend?
Is the economy going to affect your attendance or spending?
Or, will this show be a diversion from reality?
I hope to see you all at the Slammer Crankbait Booth!

ACE Baits USA (Fishing Pool) will be there, we hope to show the new versions of our Sweet 66 and Small Fat Flippers. Made in Chicago by the Sledgehammer guys. This means we'll be making way for them by having special deals on the wood versions!

I plan on being there Saturday if the wife does not find my cash stash that I have carefully hidden. Hey sworrall, will you have some MuskieFirst decals at the show? I have a different tow rig and need to make her purty!

I'll be there, probably Early Friday, and most of the day Saturday. Due to the purchase of a Tuffy this year, I am on a very tight budget. Don't really need anything anyways, except, maybe a bumpboard.

1/2 day or so Saturday, then heading downtown for Uno's Pizza & ESPN Zone so the kid's can play a few games.. All I need is some terminal tackle, Floro leader material & hooks anyway.. A 1000 yards of 80lb Spectron or Power Pro would be nice, but we'll see what the damage for that is first..

I'll be there along with Sean and Scott Bermingham in the Dadson's Custom Rod Booth. They will have their new plastic inserts that are designed to be used on hollow plastic crankbait bodies such as Jakes, Stalkers and Believers. This is an insert for use with their weights, that in the past were limited to being used with a brass insert in solid plastic and wood baits. Stop by the booth for an installation demo.

I understand that Chicago could recieve 12"+ of snow tomorrow. I hope that they will be able to deal with it by Friday.
If you can get there, Friday might be a great time to attend and won't have to fight the crowds.

The tollway usually does a pretty good job staying on top of snow removal when it is expected in advance like this storm is. the trucks are sitting and waiting all over on the south end by me. I would think with a bulk of it coming tomorrow on thursday, they should have a grasp on it by friday afternoon. I really do hate lugging all my stuff thru the snow and slush though. It is Januaury, so it should almost be expected.

It IS snowing to beat hell in Chicago right now but it will be cleared by tomorrow morning for sure. No worries.

I'll look at tooth tamer rods. I have an orphaned Calcutta 400 looking for a home. I have no real muskie experience and no opinion what I might need. Currently my muskie(ish) rod is a 7.5' Fenwick that throws up to about an ounce and three quarters. That rod has a Curado 300 spooled with 50# Powerpro.

I'd be looking for something to throw the 2-4-6 oz baits using that 400 I already have. That's realistic, eh?
