| The new Wisc Musky expo opens its doors this year in Wassau on March 2-3-4 at the beutiful Patriot center
On that sat the 3rd at 7pm The Promoters are inviting all vendors and public to attend a party/social/hangout at the regan ballroom in the patriot center,,There will be a full bar and possibly food for you to purchase
Entertainment will be provided by popular Greenbay guide and acomplished musician 'Dennis Radloff and his band'
the promoters would also like to have a 'swapmeet' people can particapate in for people to bring all your excess muskie tackle to sell.swap.buy, In addition the 'fishin hole' from Rhinelander will be there and has put out the word it is looking to buy used musky lures so people can make deals with them before/after the swap. The promoters wanted me to organize a swap but if someone in the area would like to take this on feel free to email me.
a $5 cover fee is asked to help cover the cost of ballroom which is considerable 'probbably higher then the number your thinking of" but if people feel this is a issue for the swap possible wristbands for swap only might be used.
there is a holliday inn express connected to patriot center for those looking for lodging
ALL are invited!!!!
google the wisc musky expo website for more info

Location: Land of the Musky | Tackle Industries will have rods and select lures in the Ross's Sporting Goods booth. John will have a really nice 10x30 booth at the show. Sounds like Paul and Rich have done a real good job setting this event up. I also hope to send John a bunch of lures for kids so bring your kids and take them to the booth to get a free lure. |

Location: Price County WI | TC, There are a lot of venders that are going to be at the show, A few of them will be smaller companies that you would not normally see at a big show, for example Ross's Sport Shop, Black River Bait Co., Marv's Spinners, and Musky Madness. So it's going to be a nice mix of companies that you would normally see and companies that are not usually out there. More info on vendors that will be at the show will be passed on closer to the show. It will be a very well put together show with some great speakers that you usually won't see. |

I should have said that all the money raised from sales of this rod will be donated to Cancer Research. You still have to buy the rod from Tooth Tamer but all the money raised from sales will be donated by Tooth Tamer Rods in one big donation.
Not really a free rod but you are getting a rod with money that will be donated to the cause. Sorry Bill from Tooth Tamer and everyone else for any confusion, I really didn't think people would try and take advantage of that post and the way I worded it. |

| I bought a couple of Pearson Plugs at Acquatic Arts in Tomahawk last fall. Probably the best glider I have ever used. They walk from side to side and belly roll at the same time and they both work perfect. I am definitely paying a visit to their booth and picking up a couple more. Do those drop bellies that are in the picture have the same action? |

Chippewa River musky guide, Mike Etzel, St. Louis River musky guide, Dustin Carlson. Dustin, last year, guided a client to a 49 lb. tiger musky and he will be displaying that fish at the show. Long time and well know musky guide, and the founder of Muskies First, Steve Worrall, will be speaking about the affects of sound and vibration from musky lures. He will present the actual sounds that musky lures make under water. Don’t miss any of these seminars. There also will be a lure swap at 7 p.m. and live music to follow at 8 p.m. Saturday night.
