Will not be able to make them both (I work on the weekends).

Mostly interested in dropping $$$$ on plugs,meeting plug/tackle makers, looking at gear etc...Which has the best guests, seminars and demos?

Which show is going to be the best one to use a "day #^&#^&#^&#^& on?

For dealers at both shows it will be hard to restock for the RI show being a week apart.

take the day off and go to the MSBA show, you won't regret it.

and the next week go on Friday to the RI show

I enjoyed both shows last year. Different people and venders at each show.

It is a very tough choice, I like Slips suggestion if you can,
Thats what I am doing

MSBA :jump: :jump:

Call in sick and go to both !!!!!!!!! :yak5:

I thought the RISSA show last year was fantastic. I liked it better than MSBA show. But this year MSBA has a new location and promises to be bigger. Take a look first and see what lectures or demonstrations are at each show and make your decision. If your just looking to spend some money on plugs, both shows will have vendors who will take your money.

Flip a coin and take your chances.
