Wasnt really shopping for anything today but had a pretty good time at the show. Took a while to get threw every thing with all the people from the web site down there. James, Calvin, Matt, Dave Koonce, Luke, Chris Gunrud, Tanner Wildes, Jake, John, Scott, and Im sure there where a few others. Like said above I think you need to talk to the sales guys to get the best deals. Also a great place for comparing similar products side by side.
Interesting products I seen there where the propane Jiffy ice auger. Not sure how well these perform but it was different. The Marcum showdown troller was very interesting. Looking forward to hearing on the water reviews of this product this winter. Other than this there was a fair number of the latest and greatest ice fishing gadgets on display. Bobbers, gadgets for removing slush from the hole and others that jig your ice pole for you. I always find it interesting to stop and check out these items and listen to their pitches.
If you are looking for a freebie at the show make sure and stop by Northern Beer for a free sample. Scott Steil was working their booth today. I think there may of been a both giving out samples of whiskey to.
Good to see you guys down there today. Hope Sunday is as busy as today was.
