This is more than likely a dumb question and it isn't my first. Why is the MN Muskie Expo so late? Chicago and Milwaukee are really early in the year and MN is last dog to the dish. Just asking.

I've wondered that and I came up with probably because we have a late opener?

It used to be 2nd weekend in March, I think they kept having bad weather so they moved to April. Not possitive-Just what I heard a few yrs ago.
-I wish it was back in March.

Tackle Industries will have specials on all lures and rods. We will also have our new VEXAN bass rods for $100 at the show. Retail on the VEXAN line is $129.95 so that is a great special but LOL its for bass not musky. Otherwise we will have some clearance lures for $5 each and buy 3 get one free on rods and lures at the show. Don't forget to bring the kids, free $13 musky lures for them and our $80 youth rods will be $50 at the show. If you are too far away from the show just email me and I will get you the youth rods for $50 plus a little for shipping and throw in a free lure for your kid.

This is only a guess, But I believe that it's because our season starts later then everyone else in the US. WI and ours are about a month apart. Theirs is obviously a month sooner, but their season starts roughly about a month sooner then ours as well. Just my .02 Cents

heres some input Im buds with Paul the promoter

couple major shows early in the year at Chi and Milw means that sometime lure makers need time to catch up on their stock an April date helps that'
cant really win on the date people say they miss March but people dont remember that just about every third year we got 'pasted' with a big snow storm. Not that big a deal for metro guys but out of towners a lot of time had to stay home because of snow packed highways,,April date removes most of the snow blizzard danger but then people complain that its TOO nice out-so you cant win.
Concordia is only available during spring break otherwise its used for sports People liked the old Blaine sports center but they became unreasonable with their requests for the new surface-no boats and only a portion of a square footage could be used and rent tripled.

Sound like theres going to be some really good deals/rebates from the MFG'rs but they have a policy about not listing prices for certain locations that not everybody has access to,

Paul the promoter is always at the front desk give him your input he is always willing to hear it

The first weekend in April is BEST TIME for this show, weather should be OK for guys that travel to the show, most have Tax $$$ in the pocket wanting to spend it, and it is the last show of the year.

Pimp My Rod and Reel will have a booth at the MN Show.

###### Not if you live in KY, or Tenn. Who in there right mind wants to drive 520 M from Ky. to Milw in Jan. I did the Ch. and Milw. shows for Tony Grant and spent 3 days on the road getting back more then once. I don't even like doing the Columbus show. You can get iced in there.
