5th Annual Chicago Muskie Show Swap Meet
The 5th annual Chicago Muskie Show Swap Meet will be Saturday night January 15, 2005 after the show at Official’s Time Out located approximately ¼ mile east of the show hotel (Barrington Rd & Higgins) in Hoffman Estates. Official’s Time Out is located adjacent to Poplar Creek Bowl, across the street from Stonegate Banquets.

Each year attendance has grown for this event. The 2004 swap was attended by over 100 people that came from as far away as New York state to be at the show. The variety of items at this event is outstanding. Hard to find baits, unique hand made baits, regional baits you may never have seen or only heard about (Weagle’s anyone?), down riggers, props, rods, reels, there's something for everyone.

There is no charge to attend this event so bring some stuff, buy some stuff, sell some stuff, trade some stuff and have some fun!

Ps. Bring protective eyewear in case there is a full Shady moon again.

Official’s Time Out

I sent the body of Luke's email out to as many people as hotmail would let me, now I have to wait 24 hours to send more. If you guys can, send this to as many people as you have on your muskie address books. More people makes this such a better event!

Yes, open to anyone. Admission is free but keep in mind the bar needs to get some business if we want them to have us back again next year.

I will be sure to eat dinner there too, keeping an annual place is a good thing and alot less work for the people who were willing to put it together.

Sounds like a plan to me. I have to be there working the Even Keel booth, so I'll bring my trading material along this time.

I know I put this post up a few weeks ago but I've been so darn busy coaching my son's 8th grade basketball team that I haven't got a chance to reply to anyone interested in buying the rods and reels.

We have a tournament today, first game is at 11:00am and depending on whether we win or lose the second game will be at 6:00pm or 8:00pm, I sure hope we play at 6.

I'm planning on bringing the rods and reels to the swap this way there is no shipping cost and the buyer can see the merchandise first hand.

Rods:
2-Avids (AM76HF)
1-Avid (AM80HF)
1-Avid (AM69HF)
1-Avid (AM70MHF)
1-Premier (PM80MHF)
1-Premier (PM69HF)

Reels:
3-Calcutta's (400's)
1-Curado Bantam (CU-200)
1-Morrum (M6600CL)
2-6500C4's
2-6500C3's
1-6501C3
1-5500C3
1-5500C

To all that have emailed me..................I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you
