The two spinning setups will be custome rods. Does anyone know if the builders will have time to get the specific information for the rods? Will they be too busy to help me out?

In addition to attending a few of the seminars, I'll be looking to purchase some gami circle hooks, jigs (spro & canal specials) and some fly teasers.

Lure building supplies(lips,eyes and small grommets for needles.), rubbahhhh, and a few eelskin jigs if I can find em, I want to try that this year...

I am hoping to see the new Okuma VS reel at the show, to be avail in April they told me. Supposed to have an elliptical gear which eliminates the hesitation at the top and bottom of retrieve rotation. Hell, I didn't know about the hesitation. (Wonder how they came up with VS as the name for the new reel????? :doh:

ginsu knives , really absorbant towels , cool shades , insta shine and taffy

Simple fly tying kit for tail hooks and teasers
plug bag
plyers
plugs & jigs & rubba

and I must resist buying another rod ;)

No plan
Whatever strikes my fancy

Will prolly sign up for membership

some cod rigs (if there are any) lead, hooks, maybe a needlefish or two...

see y'all there sat!

I wonder if any dealers will have a Saltiga????

Slipknot,

Why you askin' bout Saltigas??? :cool:

You gettin' itchy?

I have a Van Stall that I might like to turn into a Saltiga like yours :)
How's the capacity on your 5000?
and is yours a new one? the new ones say the weight is 20 oz. compared to 29

Try and get a couple of Habs Needles....( for the 3rd year ). Get some lips for my plugs, meet a bunch of the guys from this site I hope....would love to put a face to some of the names here...maybe catch a seminar, but not sure yet...watch some of the pros turn some plugs...see what else catches my eye :eyes: .....

Is Point Jude Lures going to be represented there? I wanna get my hands on some Tin.

Yes he will be there. Just got these babies :wave: in the mail.

I will be there with lots of shiny and sparkling deadly devices designed for the demise of dennisons of the deep. :bl: I am looking forward to meeting all y'all.

I will be looking for a Shimano Stella in perhaps the 8000FA model. Hoping of a “show special” price. If I have any $ left after that, then a good pair of pliers and a new pair of Polarized sun glasses. Also will be looking at those Point Jude tins.

Most of all I will be looking forward to meeting some of the members of this board. In my past months of lurking I have learned a lot. Look for a short ol’ guy with a white beard wearing a Westport Fisherman’s hat with a 1964 Mass Bass pin. Yes, I will be re-joining after all these years.

spend your money on something else at the show. Shimano does not allow that reel to be sold below a minimum retail price. :splat: You can get it for the same price any time of the year.

Thanks for the tip Mike. That's not very nice of them. :hs:
