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.
