Make sure to stop by Keith Davison's booth as he will be there with his guide service and will have "THE ORIGINAL CUSTOM X ELITE SERIES TROLLING RODS." These rods are used and endorsed by legendary musky guide Mike Lazarus. I will be unable to attend but Keith will have them available exclusively. The first trolling rod on the market to stand up to any fish especially muskies. Don't be fooled by others, make no mistake and make sure to see Keith. All new direct to the the public pricing. No middle men. I only sell at stores or online at my website. These rods used to be 330.00 in Rollie and Helens catalog. They now retail for 190.00. He has limited supplies so make sure to see him first thing or they will be gone. Contact me if he is out or if you are interested in any of our full line up of casting rods as he will not have those there. Thanks,

Boss,
Migizi Fishing Rods trolling line up:
Migizi’s E-Glass composite trolling fishing rods are great for boat or down rod applications. It can handle any size lure you want to troll and cast with a parabolic built in action with extra power in the rear section. We integrate Kevlar into the butt section of the rod for better lifting and hook setting power! Again, any bait size and action is no match for these rods.
Our trolling rods are made of the finest E-Glass with composite material then enamel coated with clear epoxy covering the blank. These actions in this series are extremely durable and powerful parabolic bends to troll or deep water jig any bait on the market. These rods have the power to speed troll and are available in three lengths and models: 7’6”, 8’ and 9’.
Migizi offers two different styles of handles on these models. On the 7’6, 8’ and 9’ models, the standard handle option is a heavy shrink material with closed cell foam trim. You can also choose the custom cork/rubber composite material on the 7’6” and 8’ models. All trolling rods come with heavy duty stainless frames with heavy duty stainless rings and tip top guides. These guides can handle the utmost wear and durability for all fishing conditions. These will not groove with any braid and no rings to worry about being knocked out or cracked. They are a very tough guide for our toughest rod series. Reel seats for the 7’6” and 8’ models are made out of machined brass with double chromed finish. It also includes a trigger and 2 locking nuts to prevent slippage. The 9’ model comes standard with a graphite cushioned reel seat.

Tim and Boss, make sure you stop by and talk with Keith. He will have the 8' heavy Custom X trolling rods that all of you have heard about up there. Used and endorsed by Mike Laz, Keith Davison, Ryan Marlow, Fins and Grins Muskie Charters, Spencer Berman, and many others. They were featured in an article by Spencer in the December issue of Musky Hunter. If you are looking for the last rod you ever have to buy for trolling applications look no further. Keith will have 10 of them there so get to his booth early as there are a bunch of guys that have messaged me that want one.
Sorry I could not be there to meet you guys. I have some other obligations that weekend. Thanks for the support and talk to you soon

All this packed into one day is muskie overload! If you are on the fence on whether to go or not...just remember it only comes once every other year. Come on out for the day and visit! Migizi Fishing Rods will have our full line up of casting and trolling rods at show special prices...10-20% off!

The show takes place at a nice hotel, plenty of restaurants around too! Did I mention Lake Ontario is only minutes away and has the BEST Pacific Salmon fishery east of...The Pacific!
Should be some spring Kings in tight by then, flatlinning and in-line planner boards with stick baits do the trick!

Posted 3/30/2013 1:01 AM (#630735 - in reply to #610664) Subject: RE: Muskie Odyssey! April 13th!
Figure 8 Baits has decided to attend at the last minute. For anglers on the fence that are thinking about attending, our booth will be having a inventory blowout on most items. Our store does not open until mid april and we do not recieve most musky related gear until late may, but we do carry Canada's largest selection of musky gear and we also are currently working with manufactures to recieve new product for the show.
As mentioned above our prices are going to be heavily discounted and i will be using some of those funds to buy up the hard to find baits at the end of the show as i did the previous year.
Buy now save later!!!

A week and a bit to go and were still building baits here. I keep getting custom orders thanks to everyone for them. My wife and I are looking forward to another great Odyssey. Please be sure to stop over at the handlebarz booth and introduce yourself.

question about the entrance fee, it says 20 for a family, well I'm going with 2 buddies, will we each have to pay 20 bucks to get in? if so they kind of steep don't you think

The $20 fee to get into the Odyssey is not steep for the cost of things in Ontario, Canada.Then take into consideration that funds raised from the Odyssey go to muskie conservation in Canada.I will spend $40 in gasoline, border toll and the $20 to get in and it is well worth every penny! There will be lures there that you will find no where else but at the Odyssey! Then there is the chance to talk with some of the big hitters and look at a few hawg pix.

Make sure to stop by Keith Davison's booth to talk muskies and book a guide trip. Also, he will have the ORIGINAL CUSTOM X TROLLING RODS. Used and endorsed by Mike Lazarus. Get there early as he only has limited numbers. However, he will also be taking orders which I will deliver within 45 days of the show. If he sells out he will be keeping one rod to sell from. Sorry I cannot make it myself. I hope all of you have a great show and I look forward to getting up there for the next show.

Make sure and stop By the Figure 8 booth for some great deals on top quality baits. Ryan needs to reduce inventory a bit to make room for new colors and such. He will be giving some great deals on baits. Custom X gave him some show colors from this year too but in limited quantities so get there early. He has those as well as great deals on all other top quality manufactures.

A huge thanks goes out to Muskies Canada for a GREAT show! Migizi Fishing Rods met some great people...who love to troll a lot! I have never seen so many BIG baits. These guys have it down for sure when it comes to catching big fish. We almost sold out of one trolling rod and sold many more beyond that. Can't wait for the next show!

Im sorry that I did not get to talk to everyone but my wife said he helped out a bunch of guys that stopped over and said they did not want to bug me when I was helping other customers I just want to let you all know your not bugging me dont be afraid to say Hi I dont bite to hard LOL its her you gotta watch out for JK.
Im glad I got some shopping done the night before and also before 8am as I did not have much time after that.
We are already looking forward to the 2015 Odyssey
Thanks again from my wife and I at Handlebarz musky lures Mike Parker

I didn't get a chance to talk to you Mike. You were as you said, busy with other customers every time I went by in the afternoon (we showed up later in the afternoon). Good to hear that you did well and had such a good time.
Muskie Odyssey! April 13th!
