april is coming fast! does anyone have any show specials or customs coming to the show...like shack attack and innovations (show colors). also will the tranx be there in time to actually buy one? i assume the swap is going to be at ogara's like always which is awesome! if you have any lures you want customized you can drop them off to me at the big mama booth or meet me at the swap. see you guys there!!!

my list-

custom show rubber
tranx power gear and a 300EJ
big phantoms
new navionics chip
musky hunter hoodie

I will be running to the true glide booth on fri mourning,,,for the last few years Joe has been teasing us with his soft plastic bait telling us "I want to test it somemore,,test it somemore,,test it somemore" now I can GET it,,If Joe makes it it catches fish.
He also showed us his new dive rise bait that looks like the perfect poke into the weeds coldfront bait

Custom X and Big Game will be there with customs. Last year both the Big Game 12" and the Custom X 12" did well in the Minnesota area. Looking forward to seeing all of you in Minnesota.

Sweet looking customs Andy! Love the top ones.

Tackle Industries will have rods at the show in Kevin Cochran's guide booth. If anyone wants to pick up a specific rod please email me now. I am working with Kevin to make sure he has the rods you want to look at and/or buy at the show. He has a limited number of rods right now.

Just in case Kevin does not have your rod, you can still pay him and I will drop ship for you. Kevin will just email me your shipping info and the rod you wanted. No shipping cost to you either just in case he runs out of the rods you wanted at the show. Still easier for me to just ship a bunch of rods to him next week though

Also, Jeremy with Tuscarora Tackle will be at the show if you are looking to have a sweet custom built rod made on a TI blank. He can make you about anything in any length with my blanks. Split grip, full grip, snake skin underlay, any type of "bling" you want, he can do. All starting in the low $200 range which is an incredible deal for a custom built rod! Wait until you guys see the show models he is building for this show! See the bottom of this page and then flip through the pictures of a TI rod.
http://tuscaroratackle.com/rods/

Thanks
James
email me at [email protected] with the rod models you want to pick up at the show.

Custom colors? Big Wood will have entire lines of Custom and Exclusive bucktails, crankbaits, spinnerbaits and soft plastics that you simply won't find anywhere else. At least 6 new and exclusive products will make the show that are NOT on the website yet.

The big question that I keep getting emails about is if we will have the new Magnum 12" Shadzilla at the show. I'm about 95% sure at this point that at least a limited supply of these will make their way to the MN Expo! These baits will not be available on our website or anywhere else for that matter, for a few more months.

Check out the video for the new Shadzilla Jr. This bait will be posted on Big Wood soon and will be at the Expo. It will come as a three pack of hollow tube swimbaits with a 10/0 Owner Beast hook and an optional VMC Treble that can be removed for a virtually weedless presentation.

^^ agree with the both of you! Thorne Bros is selling the Tranx right now, so I don't see why they wouldn't be for sale at the expo.

bring whatever musky tackle you want lures,tackle,rods,reels,nets sell it swap it, swap "technically starts at 6:30 but that dosent matter cause people will show up at 5:30 to grab tables because if your bringing stuff tables go FAAAAAAAAAAAST,,, and grab the "good stuff" early bird gets the worm,
Kids,family welcome no charge
or come to buy,,,
or come to hang lottsa musky talk
most everybody orders dinner good food
or come to look-nice scenery
or come to run and gun- one well known local pro last year went home with a hot item from the bar and Im not talking about a to go food order.

adds up to its all good

I saw a really cool European pounder bulldog on facebook. It was a northern pike pattern. Musky Innovations would score points with me if they brought some of those!!!!!!!!
