Fred Hall Show Impressions
For those that attended the Long Beach show this year, What was your impression of the show? Did you like it? What Was your favorite booth this year? Did you score a killer deal? What did you buy? Is there anything that you wish they had this year but didn't?
This was my first Fred Hall show this year and it was really nice to see some of the boats captains there who I have met over the years as well as meeting some of the owners of small lure companies. It really is a smaller community then I envisioned. I didn't get a chance to explore or meet anyone at the kayak booths. I was in absolute love with the Saltwater tank that was nearby had with sheepshead, calico, sandbass, sculpin, cabezon, whitefish, a ray etc. I scored a deal on some Krocodile style lures which were 5 for 10$ for 2-3 oz models made by a San Diego Company name Candy Bars. I also purchased my first spinner bait hand made by a smaller company Reebs Lures. Learned some tips and tricks from the booths, and more seasoned anglers then myself. Found this cool bait company who makes their surface irons on a CNC machines which takes the guesswork out of the way the jig is going to swim. Comes at a whopping price of 25$ an iron though. Left with some sore feet, an emptier wallet but with a smile on my face. What did you think? |
