Please post some of the HOT new baits. I can't make the show today either and Sunday everything will be picked through. I might make it down with Shep and DaveJ on Sunday if possible.

Whats the hype from the show?

pound and a half BullDawgs! - they wouldn't tell me how many tires melted down it to make one.

They should have a rod that is able to throw them 1st! Those things are HUGE!!!!!!!!

Musky Innovations had bulldawg rods made to throw the pounders. Not a bad rod for $180. I managed to get a few rumblers. Kinda dissapointed in the color selection at the launch of this bait. There are many other colors that will be available in the spring but only around 5 at the show. Lots of show colors on many other baits. Spent plenty.

I agree with the observations on the rumblers. There weren't many availible. That show is just too big for the location IMO.

I did a road trip with Luredaddy yesterday out of cleveland. 800 miles round trip in one day! First time to the show for us. It was my first time to any musky show for me. I was taking it all in. Lots of very nice baits there. We got to spend almost 3 hours there.

The show did seem to be a little packed in for the space. I spent about a hr just looking at all the reproductions of the those BIG muskies!!!! Very nice from both booths.
I bought a "true glide" bait. Very nice bait he makes. The wishmaster booth was amazing for me. I always like to see the nice new boats on the floor. I couldn't get close to the Mehiskomers seminar. I think some people were waiting for a BIG follow video.

Side note: We need to get Baldy to play for our Cleveland Browns!!!!!!!!! The guy looks like a lineman! We need offensive lineman here!

Take care
John
