No floor crashing :hihi:

Well, a kick butt chair for the bigs

I will have good stuff cheap at the RISAA show! In particular ,you want to check out the new 3 oz Deep Force lure ,which comes in 5 flavors.The big ones have been quite deadly. I am thinking you Canal guys will like this one. You can fish it with the conventional bucktail OR...with assist hook! The latter might let you jig without getting hung up as much.This stly is different but keep an open mind....it works! In any event come by and say Hi!

I was just thinking about butterfish the other day and how I need some. Looking forward to seeing you guys. I will be working the MBBA booth Sunday. LOVE the RISAA show.:chased:

Got my sticker and ended up buying a 2-6 oz mojo rod... Plenty of comfy sitting capacity with the couches... with the bar open could be a great spot to chill out..

Thanks for the sticker John, and it was nice to see Jake on the slide show. He was excited to see himself.

We only stayed about an hour and a half.Stuck to my budget more or less and got out before temptation got the best of me.

Comfy couches John.Would love to have one in the basement man-cave but unfortunately until the stupid cat kicks the bucket it wouldn't be a good idea.

WTH i didnt get any sticker...LOL

Nice meeting you John R

I go every year and one of my main objectives is to get some Habs needles. I arrive pretty early Saturday and find out from the Habs folks (great people) that they sold ALL their needles at the show in NJ. I was pretty upset to hear that. A lot of people travel there to stock up on his needles for the season. I have no idea why he wouldn't keep some needles aside to sell at the RISSA. Just seems fair to the people up here that have supported him by going every year to purchase some. Not bashing him at all...just a little let down.

Even if you didn't get to his table early it was tough to get certain colors (i.e. BI Green).

My thing was, they sold all the needles in NJ. Why not save some for each show?

They did have needles on Friday. Not sure what time they sold out. Plug building isn't John Jr.'s main focus, so he can't crank them out in volume.

Sure is! We had to chat with CC for 10 min while the ink dried.:uhuh:

You really want have fun with him, ask him to talk about women.
We sat together at a booth for a day doing some obscure fishing show, I felt like a boy scout after listening to him.:devil2:

JR.....nice to see you Sunday. Wish I could of run into Mike and Mike, and Smokey. Was dragin' ass when I got to all the RISSA booths. Should've sat on the couches.

xo, OX: grins:

Went to the show today.
Show is down compared to past years. A handful of vendors I planned to see were not there (CMS, Daiwa,Dexter knife company to name a few)
Saw and spoke with with plenty, seemed everyone I talked to worried about this economy and not spending $

Dexter was there. I dont think i have seen them in the past.

CMS is getting ready for a big sale next weekend, thats why they didn't go.

OX

WTF have you been ???????????????????:love:

Nah, I checked a couple days ago...nothing

That was my Jeep next to your truck

The guy selling Dexter was an independent seller, not the dexter company booth.

John it was good to see you. I watched my son (on the right side of pic) catch a nice mahi mahi.

Not what I am looking for. I was jonesing for some 7 or 9 inch needles. Nothing...anywhere.:wall:

Great time at the show this weekend. Working at a booth is not as easy as it seems, lots of respect that do it for a living! Good to see some familiar faces, and meet some new ones. And I finally got a sticker :love:

Can't say I blame Jr, at all. Last year he had tons of inventory hanging on the walls on Sunday afternoon. It's a business... He should sell everything he can at every show he goes to. If he sets aside a quarter of his needles to sell at RISAA and they don't all sell, he's shooting himself in the foot. And he did make the Stixx specifically for RISAA (which are pretty sweet might I add).

He said that he'd have larger needles ready in a couple of weeks... They should be available soon.

Stickers?!!! I didn't get no sticker! Seriously, good to see you again John and good to have met Raider Ronnie.

I don't blame him for anything, I was just saying I was disappointed. him and his friends and fam that work the booth there are really nice people. How can anybody get mad at them?
But seriously, do you think his needles wouldn't sell at RISSA? I'm just saying, if it were me, I would have evened it out for each show.

Patch didn't hold well - will repatch. Dawg - you'll get an award next year - guaranteed :love:

Truthful, I expected one to fail over the course of the weekend, though by accidental means.

ox CHECK YOUR pm,S

They did a heck of a job marketing this event. I got a little card advertising the show with a $1 off coupon in the mail yesterday.:smash: I also got a message from a friend who got it yesterday, as well. Whoever is in charge of sending those out dropped the ball a little bit.

Haus I hear ya. I didn't mean to make it sound like you blamed him, I know what you meant. I thought the same thing last year- I figured he would be all sold out (which explains why I was there early on Friday and booked it to get in line- plug ho'age)... But he had tons of stock left at the end of the show. Guess it's just tough to predict what will sell any given year.

Truism!
