Nice trip to Richmond

[bassboogieman]

Went to the Richmond Fishing Expo today. Not a very big production based upon other shows (or rather used to be shows like the Eastern PA Sportsman's show) only spent a couple hours there. Did see a few friends that were working booths, even bought a custom ultra light trout rod.

Since I drove all that way, we drove a little farther south (12 miles) and visited the new Green Top sporting goods store. NICE store, very much like the Gander Mountain stores in up north. The were having a sale, and we got an additional 10% off for attending the Expo - so there was no way we could NOT spend some money. I got a Abu Orras spinning reel for the trout rod. I am a Pflueger user, but this reel caught my attention so I'm giving it a test spin (oh, sorry that was bad). Also bought some 6# Nanofil braid to spool it with.

Then, only another couple miles away is the Richmond Den of Iniquity. Well, that is one of the nicest BPS stores I've been in yet. Full service resturant in store. Well laid out, bought some little odds & ends. Then time to head home.

Maybe I'll take a pic of the new rod and post it tomorrow, I just got home had some apple pie and just don't feel like taking pictures. More apple pie, yeah, that sounds good.
