| Had a buddy who got there an hour before the show started. He said the there were already 100 people in head of him. Apparently the line for Revolutions was insane and he decided not to wait. Plus he said there was no browsing at the booth you basically had to tell him what you want at the checkout. Takes some of the fun out of it for me. I'll just wait for when these become available online so I don't have to spend time in lines.

I find it so funny how nutty people get over baits.
Everyone will have there chance to buy them before the season starts. It's not like if you don't have one you are not going to catch fish. It's all about marketing and creating the hype. |

Location: MN | This is the first I've heard of these. They look interesting. How did these build up so much hype without even being available to the general public until this year?
Looks like they are going for about $60 on Ebay. Muskie fishing is the new scene for scalpers.

KB has long made awesome blades. These look to be a new level of awesome. My biggest gripe with blades is they love to collapse on the figure 8, potentially screwing up a fish. I understand the hype. And I'll be standing in line with a smile on my face tomorrow. |

Probably more than that.
More like 1000. The line before he doors opened stretched around the sidewalk outside.
KBT makes some awesome stuff. These have been all over the flee markets, and have been out at multiple shows. But with Mike being a Minnesotan, I think he's got a bit of a bigger following. He didn't even bring his other stuff to the show, just the revolutions.
I wouldn't be shocked if he was sold out by closing tonight. |

| I think that they will be sold out. The line was half way across the expo every time I walked by. Good day for them. |

| Arrived at 1:15 and we were already lined up outside. It was 2:15-2:20 by the time we got inand went straight to Kraemers. The line was only a half aisle length at that point and still waited until nearly 3:45 by the time we got to Kraemer's booth. Ohh well-got my Revos and nothing else to do in March. |

Sounds like a really, really big problem? |

Location: MN | Just crazy how long the line was if it had to be 200 people at one point and stayed at what I would guess 60-80. Meanwhile you could put a cannonball through the 2015 2016 hot bucktail vendors booth. Oh how the fickle winds blow in this sport. To each their own I think everyone had a great time. Amazing speaker at 7pm Herbie what a cat! |

| Waited in line for 40 minutes to get in before the show started. By the time the doors opened and I got in, it was about 2:15. I went straight to the Kramer/LakeX booth and there were already ~100 people in line. Passed on that and went to the Thorne booth, and what I wanted there was already sold out. Made my way back to the Kramers a few minutes later and there was closer to 200 people in line. It was like a black Friday type deal, I couldn't believe it.
The hype for these baits is incredible. I think they are gonna be awesome, but I'm not waiting in line for an hour and a half in March when they will be available online (we are told) well before we can even use them in MN. |

| When I was a kid I loved fishing for trout in the streams behind my folks house with rooster tails. Then one year rooster tails came out with helicopter blades just like the new Revolutions. Of course I had to have them and bought a bunch. I caught some fish on those new blades but not as many as the old tried and true. Today I don't have any in my trout pouch. I will buy a revolution or two when they come available, but I don't think they will out perform what we already have. Only thing I'll stand in line for is beer.

That's why you get a pile of his other bucktails! |

Location: Duluth, MN | Today was no problem. Got in the venue at 10:30 and went to the Kramer booth and only took 5 mins to get in and they still had all sizes available. Got 2 revos and then stepped over to Lake X and waited maybe 10 minutes and they still had tons of baits left. Got an orange firetiger FB. Great show. Had a blast. |

| Got there at 5, found that booth at about 6, no lines, plenty of people but it was easy to walk around and check out all the different baits they had. Walked by a few more times throughout the night and never saw a line. Guess you guys got there too early? I didn't buy one, I thought the skirts were a little small. I guess I must just be the crazy one. |

It's great tv when they show it on the news. I expected it to be the same, minus the hair pulling. |

I think by then they were out of 9's and 11's, that's why there was no line  |

Is plural the correct way to describe them? |

| The Hype surrounding these baits is pretty funny to watch considering they have not been used by the public yet. I'll try one I'm sure, but to buy a pile of $30-$35 small bucktails without trying 1st is assuming a lot! LOL Or worse yet, paying 2 to 3 times retail on Ebay! |

Location: Shawano, Wi | The problem I see with these lures is storing them. They don't fold up like a regular bucktail. |
