Fred Hall good for deals?
Have not been in many years and just getting into serious fishing. I realize they showcase the latest and greatest, but are there other vendors there selling lures, rods, reels, etc that they just want to move? I would also like to get a new CF paddle if prices are right. Bottom line is it worth it to go for buying or is it more of checking things out? Thanks

Both.
In the past, some anglers would go on Sunday to get deals from the merchants that did not want to pack them back home. The selection would be less, but prices would be good. That was stopped by FH. It is a chance to see how many of us crazies are out there. However, it is a must see since it is only once a year. Turnner's is always busy, others may have some great deals, but you have to look for it. There are even pretty girl models sometimes! I will be helping at the Cedros Outdoor Advantures booth everyday except Thursday. |

Not really the answer you asked for. But your dollar often goes further at Day at the Docks. It's about 1/1000th the size but it's all just local salt water fishing.
Any way, worth checking out if you're in SD. Mike |

You can get good deals if you know what you are looking for and stick to a shopping list, as it is really easy to get things you don't really need just because the price is good. I usually end up with stuff I really don't need to feed my ever expanding "Tackle Ho" stash, but a lot of that is because I will be there every day working for Promar/Ahi, usually in the Turner's booth, so I get plenty of walking around time.
Look at last week's Western Outdoors. A lot of the vendors will run ads on what their show specials are. If there is nothing in the ads that strikes you, or nothing you would be shopping for then you may want to pass. Also, look at the seminars. There may be something that will take down your learning curve, like one of the Jim Salazar (Saba Slayer) lobster sessions, or Team Sewer's instructionals. |
