I enjoyed the show Fri.
Did see the release reels. Look nice enough, pretty simple, much like an Avet. Interesting handle. Not a casting reel, however.
Looked exhaustively at CTS and Century blanks yet again. Left as much confused as enthused.
Saw the new Stella. Very nice, supposedly better sealed than the supposedly well sealed SW series, but that may not be saying much since my 5000sw is sealed about as well as a sponge.
Met a guy building/selling rods of all sorts (not surf) under the name of aubut rods. Nice well thought out stuff with top rate components and not a lot of fancy thread work. The guy seemed a serious fisherman and is based on the cape. Well worth looking up if you want small boat, kayak, or FW rod built I'd think.
Got a laugh at the VS crew. Looks like they have their own little high school street gang going. What's with that?
Unfortunately the talk on cuttyhunk by silva got canceled.
Crowds were down b/o the storm.
All in all it was a nice way to forget the world and soak up the fishing atmosphere.
