I'll be prepared to heckle him. :devil:

Pete,
Any truth to the rumor that you'll have some of those Beachmaster needles for sale at the show?
DZ

There will be some Beachmaster needles at the show. :D

Also Pt.JudeJoe and Crafty Angler will be there.

SWE fishing show????

thanks pete. yes, i'll be there.

since there will be some bm needles there, i will be demostrating the pendulum cast from inside the show. let's see, how big is this place....hey, pete, how many needles do you have? we may "go thru" a few.

toby, don't sing it, bring it. i have a couple mambo's waiting to crush the second i see you.

i hope to have a few blanks for some to bend and see. and rods already build of course. i'll also try to wrap one rod if i have time there. it is the rod i am building for a benefit raffle for don michaud through myself. it will be on display in a few places once done. i hope to start selling tickets for it real soon and give it away possibly sometime in may. it will be what i call a "bay fluke" rod.

see you there.

Thanks, Pete - actually, both Mrs. Crafty and I will be there Saturday with a number of newly-remastered angling images of world record catches, some original Denton chromolithographs I've just finished framing and.....

The 'X' Project...:cool::cool:...which we've been working on for the last six weeks.

It's a documentary DVD a la Ken Burns - or Crafty Burns, as the case may be :hihi: - of late 19th and early 20th century images of angling pioneers and their trophy fish. In fact, we're currently pursuing a grant for further research on the subject and while it's been a lot of work, we've also had a blast doing it. If you're at the show stop by, say hi and take a look - if this doesn't get you ready for Spring, check yourself for a pulse!

And the good news is...no snow in the forecast - c'mon down!

Pete,
Thanks for the clarification. I have to be at the Hartford shopw this coming weekend.
