Dyin Dawg
Twinkee
Hot Orba

I can't wait to throw the dyin dawg. That pause looks absolutely killer!

I bought two small twinkies and two small h2o hard head jerkbaits. Least amount of baits I have ever bought at the musky show. Want to buy the new Ss shad with the tail but they were sold out. Left room for Milwaukee!

Picked up a few SS shads, some grandma cranks, a creeper from musky safari, a modivator, jointed swim bait from musky armor, and a bump board from Handlebarz.

Highlight of my day was the Muskie Life booth and talking with Christian Laettner. I knew he was a muskie guy, but didn't realize he had his own company. Bought a t shirt and sticker from him, hoping for that dream team jersey!

I was hoping for the softail from Smoker too, but missed out. Patiently waiting for the next run....

It was my first musky show and it was a good time talking to all the different manufacturers and seeing the passion for their products.

Anyone else notice the spelling error on the carded/packaged rippin dawgs?
"Musky Innovastions"

Oops....

Thorne Bros and that shop out of eagle river had spelling errors on the packaging.

Here's the exhibitors:
http://www.muskieexpo.com/chicago/chicago-exhibitors

Count 'em. There were far fewer at Harper last year, they didn't sell all the booths. The year before there were some really odd ones there.

Muskie folks cannot spell.

Whoa. You are stocked. I'll keep an eye out on the buy/trade/sell forum so you can make room for all of that!

 I had no idea Christian Laettner was a Muskie guy.  Pretty cool!  Wonder if he got hooked on Muskie while playing with the Timberwolves back in the day.  Would have been cool to chat with him about fishing for a bit....Just another reason that I regret I couldnt make it to this years show.  Wonder if he will be in Milw as well???  We will be at the Milw Show for sure....thats one of my favorite weekends of the year. 

happy hooker

^ That's both great and bad news! Love the food but fear I will look like a late fall fatty having one within easy reach.

Thank you to everyone that stopped over to our booth it was great to get out and talk musky in January. I came home with some rubber Harry baits and a Lax for my buddy. Also some of the new Anvil baits that Tim had in our booth. My family and I loved the show thanks for being so great to us in Chicago.

Cheers Mike
