    Thinking about going to the northwest sports show in Minneapolis this year in the first weekend in april. Just wondering everyone’s experiences at the show and im wondering if the show prices on rods, reels, and tackle are worth making the trip for or not. Thanks

    Brian,

    I enjoy the Northwest Sports Show, and attend on most years. Lots of good information, products, displays and sales. There are years that I find lots of good deals, and other years where there are many good deals, so it is a bit hit and miss. But I would say that is likely where you would find you best deal of the year, depending on what you are specifically looking for.

    It’s a great show. Probably the best open water show in the Twin Cities.

    Always interesting people to talk to. I would be working the DNR booth but will be out of town for the weekend. I recommend going but would eat elsewhere. Food and beer is overpriced for what you get. Lots of good establishments nearby where you get better quality for about the same price.

    I’ll be there Saturday and Sunday. I’d go for fun Friday evening if there’s going to be a meetup.

    I’d be in for that.

    I work downtown, a few blocks from the convention center.

    I’ll be right there anyway.

    Just to let you know, not much for “happy hour” establishments on the skyway level, most if any shut down when the workday lemmings leave at the end of business hours.

    No worries, plenty of options at ground level close by. toast

    I usually hit the bar at the Hilton on the way in… 2 blocks away and on the skyway..
