Location: oswego, il | The show is smaller but the quality is there, the phone harass vendors gone.
BE CAREFUL IN THE PARKING LOT! lots of ice patches. I have good balance can't remember the last time I fell but I bit it hard leaving the show. With a wet lot its hard to tell where it is. Enjoy the show but watch your step. |

| So far, from what we've seen from the Chaos booth, things are going well at the show. It was great to talk with everyone and meet some new people and newbies to musky fishing! As a whole, we have a great core of guys in the musky world. Its a small industry and it seems like most of us play nicely with each other. Looking forward to the next 2 days. |

Location: Dixon, IL | I noticed that the show is smaller but lot of lures! I bought 3 Bulldawgs then 4th is free. Cost me $39....that is $9.75 each! Bought two new color Grandma and got 8 inch jointed Believer for 8 dollars in clearance box. One booth sell many old or used muskie lures and I grabbed a good shape and almost brand new Amma Bamma for 10 dollars! I met Russ Smith for first time. Bought Revo Toro 60 Winch reel and 20 dollars off! See many old faces like Jim Saric, Steve H, Cain C., Gregg Thomas and Spencer Berman. I am surpised that St. Croix booth is not there! I am sure that next year would be little bigger because so many people yesterday!

| Just curious as why there were no reps from Shimano, Abu, etc. etc. showing new equipment for 2014. Is this becoming a thing of the past? |

Location: St.John, Indiana | Show was smaller , but still good to walk through and talk with all the other addictited Musky anglers.
Thorne Bros. booth was incredible they really stepped it up. Chaos ,guides choice,Musky Innovations and Lax all had good booths .Phantoms and Custom X always have great baits and new show colors. Seemed like a good turnout for a Friday afternoon. Will be back Sunday to walk through again and pickup a few more baits as well as my replica from Lax.
Then start looking forward to the Milwaukee show ,can't wait.

I did not ask since they are above my pay grade but there was a sign telling you to ask for the show discount on rods. |

The show is way better than these few pics show. Tons of stuff and tons of other vendors. I also spoke with some St Croix pro staff people around the areas they are selling St Croix. |

Location: On my favorite lake! | <div><br /></div><p>I went Saturday afternoon ,busy but not to busy. It was really nice because you could talk to any of the vendors and get your questions answered without them feeling rushed or being interrupted. I am not sure why there are fewer vendor participants because this is a great show. Lots of tackle vendors, guides and manufacturers Thorne Bros booth was awesome. I turned that first corner and thought it was Rollie and Helens past display.</p><p>I have to give my appreciation to all the vendors that came. Thank you! </p><p> </p>
