Again, all depends on what you use and need.
I could not agree more with nauti
I was there at the start of the event and it truly was a "flea market" style gig with plenty for the boat fishermen and the surf guys. Lots of antique plugs and tackle-boxes full of gear. I picked up a 7ft pinnacle rod for $25 and a few loose items as well. Bummed when I saw the reel I purchased at the MSBA show for $70(new) there used for $30!
Only complaint is that they need a bigger venue as you could not budge.
