I have a Van Stall that I might like to turn into a Saltiga like yours
How's the capacity on your 5000?
and is yours a new one? the new ones say the weight is 20 oz. compared to 29
Try and get a couple of Habs Needles....( for the 3rd year ). Get some lips for my plugs, meet a bunch of the guys from this site I hope....would love to put a face to some of the names here...maybe catch a seminar, but not sure yet...watch some of the pros turn some plugs...see what else catches my eye .....
I will be there with lots of shiny and sparkling deadly devices designed for the demise of dennisons of the deep. I am looking forward to meeting all y'all.
I will be looking for a Shimano Stella in perhaps the 8000FA model. Hoping of a “show special” price. If I have any $ left after that, then a good pair of pliers and a new pair of Polarized sun glasses. Also will be looking at those Point Jude tins.
Most of all I will be looking forward to meeting some of the members of this board. In my past months of lurking I have learned a lot. Look for a short ol’ guy with a white beard wearing a Westport Fisherman’s hat with a 1964 Mass Bass pin. Yes, I will be re-joining after all these years.

spend your money on something else at the show. Shimano does not allow that reel to be sold below a minimum retail price. You can get it for the same price any time of the year.
