I Hate Fred Ho Fo Sho...

[calico killer kevin]

I now officially hate the Fred Hall Show...If my mom finds out how much I
spent today for everything she is going to pop a blood vessel.

Saw a lot of nice things today, but the "deals" really weren't there. As
mentioned earlier, it was about 60%-70% saltwater. Saw just about anything
and everything. Saw a lot of cool people today including Mitz, Adrian, John
Pawlak, and Brian Shaw. I didn't expect to buy much, but I bought a few
"necesities". Came home with a nice Phenix Visor, Phenix Hat, Phenix Black
Diamond 868MH blank, ton of Big Hammer swimmies, couple Megabait
Bucktails, Glow Nitro Worms, Wilderness Systems seat, and tons of stickers
and other misc goodies. Set back a few bills, but feeling great!

If you haven't handled the Phenix blanks then you NEED to. There are the
BEST saltwater blanks I have ever felt. My goal this year is to bounce a
tuna....Now, to complement my blank, I'm gonna have to spend another
bill on components and another two bills for an MXJ...N.C.B...


Was a great experience and if you haven't gone it's not too late. My
only regret is not buying any Basstrix swimmies. I told myself before
the show that I wasn't going to buy any if there weren't any specials
so I didn't. Kinda regret it but whatever. Just means I have to make
a trip to Sav-on to grab them.

I saw some really good deals. At big fish tackle they had a huge blowout sale on great rods.

I held back alot only big hammers swimmies, bass trix swimmies, sinkers, a shirt,a 20 dollar loaner rod, and a free avet hat.

[calico killer kevin]

Yeah there were some pretty goods deals there as well.
For got to mention the SPECTACULAR deal at Big 5. I was I think 10% all
their Daiwa reels and if you purchase a reel over $69, then you get your
choice of model Team Daiwa-V spinning or casting rod. The rods value just
as much as the reels.

Ya those phenix sw rods are tight. I had one wrapped last year, so light but can put the hurt on the fish. I'm gonna check out the show tomorrow.

the one thing that i liked was the new team 57 shirt i got.

Sands, but next year I will visit it FOR SURE.
