How does one buy some things at the Chicago show if one cannot be there.

I was planning on being there this weekend. But way too many issues have come up with my dad and daughter that will not allow me to be there.

But I would love to be able to purchase some show color lures that will be there. I realize that they are show colors for a reason but due to serious medical issues with my father there is no way I could get away to get there.

Is anyone out there offering show color lures for sale even for those that cannot be there.

I am truly bummed out that I cannot make it. Been planning my first muskie show for a couple months but bad news was given to my father last Thursday that will not allow me to be there.

So if anyone has anything that they would like to offer to sell outside of the show I would love to see what you have and possibly drop some cash for them

Thanks and for those that are going have a crap load of fun and spend tons and tons of money!!!!!

Take care
Mike

Show colors have a way of showing up for sale outside of the shows. A prime example is muskietackleonline.com. He's got a good number of show colors left over even from last year. So if you're just wanting any random show color, wait a bit, and they'll start showing up. If there's something specifically you want, either contact the company directly or half of the members on this site are going. I'm sure someone would be willing to pick up a certain color or brand if you want something specific. Otherwise, show colors just for the sake of show colors aren't hard to find....after the shows.

AND....Aaron is a great guy to deal with at Muskytackleonline.com I've purchased from him before, and we share some of the same waters. Very proactive for our sport in multiple ways including financial. If he's got show colors, I'd go with him hands down!!

Well said Steve. Sorry I didn't mention that. I must've thought Aaron's "good guy" status was firmly established and everyone knew about it... Thanks for mentioning it because yes, he's great to deal with. And hell, I even spelled it wrong...

Most likely the same colors/baits will be available at the MN show...

Send a buddy!!! Hell, I'm in Texas and I'll still manage to spend two hundred bucks without walking in the door. Text msg pictures, phone calls, there's plenty of ways to get your hands on those coveted "show colors"

Hopefully some of the lures in Chicago will show up in MN. I do know that when the MN show comes up I will have no issues spending a butt load of cash!!!!!!
