Title: Who is going to the 2016 Ultimate Fishing Show?
Post by: djkimmel on December 29, 2015, 10:22:11 AM
Okay, so I know some of you are going to the Ultimate Fishing Show this coming January 7 - 10, 2016 but I don't know how many of you are going? Let's hear who is coming to see Zona on Thursday, KVD on Friday and all the rest including our Ultimate Bass Clinic on Saturday? Or are you holding out for Sunday?

Wonder who is making the longest drive this year to the Ultimate Fishing Show?

I'll be stopping by for a few hours on Saturday or Sunday. I haven't been to this before, is there a good chance to find discounted rods or is it more of a showcase for new equipment?

New equipment showcase, but bob o. has a swap meet he holds every spring which is a good place to look for discounted rods...

You might find a few deals on rods there. Lots of fishing tackle at the show and lots of fishing stories... see you there for the first time.

I can't believe it was 20 years ago that I bought my boat at the show on Thursday night. I wish I could do it again this year, but oh well...see you Thursday dan, bd / alec, dartag, mojo, and Huston.

Come by my Razr Rod booth and I'll set you up with the perfect Spy bait, Dropshot or Spinnerbait rod. Ask for Mojo.

It was good seeing everyone who stopped by the booth to say hello. Met some more members I've never met before. Thanks for making the time! I had fun at the show as always.

The meeting went real well. BIG THANKS to everyone who attended making it a valuable addition to the event! I'll post a summary of the meeting shortly.
