| Good time for my first trip down to Chicago. Scored a Nimmer swimmer Wolly Pog, Big game tackle balsa twitch in white belly perch, 6 1/2 weighted bobbie in white belly perch, Squirrely phantom, and a slippery slider in watermelon. Will see you guys at Milwaukee, looking forward to it. |

ToddM, please elaborate on the 7000 conversion.
Chuck Brod of Sportsman's Repair is able to change the gears in the 7000 series from the stock 5.3:1 to the lower 4.1:1. The reel that guys typically want this conversion done to is the 7000IHSN. Chuck will be in the Rollie & Helen's booth. We may actually bring some new reels to Milwaukee with the conversion already done. If you have a reel you'd like Chuck to convert for you I'd suggest contacting him prior to the show. It helps to know how much equipment for him to bring etc. |

| Well... If I had a wife she'd be proud of me. I actually went home with more money than I came with.
I think I am officially cured of my lure addiction! It took several years and thousands of dollars, but gone are the days lf leaving the shows with two 20# bags of baits. I bought the Muskie Madness III video, and only two lures. Yes, I said TWO.
- "Howie" If you didn't see them, this is Muskie Mojo's soft tailed hawg wobbler kinda thing, which I hear was designed by some washed up old fart fishing guide (get well soon old man, we missed 'ya down here!) One of the few lures I've ever looked at and had to have because I have no doubt it will catch fish. (instead of just wanting it because its cool)
- WA Wabull. After having the privledge of fishing with one of the prototypes (and missing a couple fish on it) I HAD TO have one. Unlike many soft tailed gliders, this one has the same action as its non-tailed counterpart. If you don't have one of these you're missing out!
I actually sold about 20 baits at the swap, too. It was hard watching them go, as I'm a bit attached to my lures. But a lure is useless when it just sits in your box because you have 15 others just like it. So to the guys who bought my babies, good luck, hope you get a 50 on them, and leave the water thinking that the guy who sold them to you was an idiot for letting them go so cheap.

| Mr. Musky, you asked about the Mayhem video. Basically a suped-up hour long infomertial on the Cowgirl/Showgirl. A couple good figure-8 strikes and hookups but a LOT of after the strike footage. Fish hits, then camera gets rolling-misses out on the actual strikes. Plus the last 10 minutes or so of nothing but still frames of people who caught fish on Mayhem tackle. Pictures of fish...great, I can find those on the internet or in a magazine, not on a supposed "action video" I just purchased. I was pretty disappointed considering how much the guy at the booth hyped it up being "full of action & great footage.."

| Had a great time at the show...picked up a load of bulldawgs, double cowgirls and the new Musky Mayhem and Badfish videos. I have to respectfully disagree with the post above, as I found the Musky Mayhem video to be very well put together with fast-paced action throughout. As usual, I enjoyed the Badfish video as well.
Both are well done and will certainly help pass the long winter months.
Great job done by the organizers of the show as well.

Location: Roscoe IL | Had another great time as always at these events. I'm convinced I'm the only one who fills up a giant coffee mug with Beer, other than my partner in crime. Milwaukee sure has an edge in that regard...
I said I wasn't going to buy anything other than a Ty Sennett hoodie, but 5 min into the place I had a video & a Supermodel in my hand. Next stop another Musky Armor hoodie & ordered a few of thier dbl 13 bucktails. I think that put me over the 1000 mark for total muskie lures owned now...
Stopped at Hooters on the way home for some wings & watched a football game. Another great day! Would have been better if the Packers lost, but I'll get over it. Now I'm going to hear all the Packer fan hoopla all week.. |

| I ended up getting some Shack Attack plastic after seeing fish chasing those things on Leech during the tournament with Lambeau.
They sure look like they will be increasing my odds.
Thanks Andy.
