The Show

[BigBassin144]

My dad and I headed up the fishing show near Detroit today.

Tackle wise, the majority of it was trout and salmon stuff for the big lakes. There were a ton of boats.

KVD was there, and gave a seminar about spinnerbaits.

My dad was looking for a dropshot rod, and we looked at the Fenwick Elite Tech and the G.loomis. Both very sensitive, light, and well balanced rods. But after the seminar, my dad was wondering if he should get a spinnerbait rod instead...

Anyways, I wasn't really looking for anything, except some good deals. I found a couple Falcon Caras for $120 from $200. I also looked at the Shimano Cumara, some Revos (the new premier is awesome). the booth with the most bass rods and reels wasn't giving anything over 20% off, while I almost got a Pflueger Arbor or Supreme for my DS rod, I didn't.

The best deal I ended up getting was on an LC Live Pointer 110. They had the small ones on sale for 9.99 but no price on the 110's. I asked and the guy said he'd go 11.99 for it. Being a $22 lure, I had to go for it. All their other LC's were only $2 off.

So the baitmonkey didn't get much out of us today, and we probably spent more getting in and on food than we did on tackle.

LC Live Pointer 110 - $12
Spro Bronzeye Frog - $6
Yum Fat Money Minnows - $5
Poor Boy's Silly Rabbit (swimbaits) - $4.

Oh, and about $10 worth of ice fishing bluegill jigs for tomarrow's trip.

Overall, it was a fun day, and not too bad of deals on tackle, but I would have liked to leave with a rod or reel. Oh well.
