Any reports from the show? New lures or gear?

Heard from a couple of buddies that attended that it was pretty slow. Also, heard from a few exhibitors that their sales were way down. Hope that these were minority reports.

I live out west so going to the show is the same expense as going on a Wisconsin or Minnesota fishing trip so I just watch R&H or Thornes , Team Rhino or Musky Tackle Online for new lures or colors or things that have been out of stock and now are back ins tock and buy accordingly. I also buy some out of production lures too. I get a trip to Wisconsin this fall so I have been cutting up some smaller Bucktails I've made and turned them into larger models for this fall. I've also have bought some newer lures to try this year. I have too much stuff already.

Attendance was a mirror image of last year.

I was there working in the Spanky Baits booth all weekend. I thought the show was well attended; we were very busy all weekend.
Was a big crowd waiting to get in when doors opened Friday. The 3 booths that got hit hard right away that I saw was Musky Innovations, Red October and Team Rhino.
I know Team Rhino sold a pile of the new Wake shads and Stretch Diesels.
Red Octobers table of custom tubes got annihilated right away they were right next to us.
