I went to the MSBA show two years ago and the ABU rep, Mike I forget his last name, said there was no such thing as the Mag Elite even though I had already talked to a few people about them on the net. After that show and after meeting Saltheart at the West Wall. I called Mike T and went down and got a MagE for me and a 6500 Big Game for Stevie Van Stal (which he later lost). The next year, at the Worcester show, he said it was a POS when compared to the Big Game and we shouldn't worry about a reel that will never end up on our shores and like Mike P said for him, I already had two at that time }>
The MSBA show was good the last few years up 'til last year when it got alot bigger and went 2 days. There have been ALOT of shops at last years show with good deals on LOTS of different gear. Can't beat it for selection and prices...
You get many area tackle shops, lure manufacturers, rod builders, you name it...
