I also, used to enjoy this show. It was very well run, attracted all the major tackle co.'s, and had just about something for everyone. And for some it was the only show they attended due to distance. But it has continued a downward spiral for many years, with more and more co.'s and vendors pulling out each year, it just isn't worth the price of admission... which continues to go up by the way. When you have major tackle co.'s such as Shimano and the like, forgo appearing and losing all that exposure, it speaks loudly to the credibility of the show. Hopefully there will be enough negative feedback that they will revamp the show, because if it stays on it's current course, as someone eluded to earlier, it's days are numbered.
