Fred Hall Show 2013 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

fishsouthcounty · 02-17-2013, 09:34 AM

ill probably be there on the weekend or after work if i end up having any jobs in that area during the week...i usually just stock up on terminal tackel, line, weight etc. Always make sure to grab 30 or so big hammers and some WARbaits slayer heads. I was hoping to make a bigger rod or reel purchase but now with being in the market for a new truck i will have to be a little more thrifty.

I might go to the long beach one. I need to find two avet reels, also could use some lead, jig heads, swim baits, big ass spool spectra, hooks, a new ultralight. I'll think have to save up like a grand by than lol

I'm going to take my wife with me again and spend more money on beer than fishing gear.

I'm gonna take Candy and make her buy me beers all day long.

I have been to the long beach show 10-15 times. I used to go buy rod building stuff. I went last year. If you go it better be for the show and not to save a buck unless you are getting one of the reel deals offered by Big 5 or Turners. The problem trying to save a buck is over coming the 20 to 25 bucks in parking and entry fee, another 15 if you bring your son/daughter. Last year I spent about $55 getting in (parking, son, nephew, and me) bought some weedless lead heads (4 packs of 5 at $5 each), some plastics (about 10 bucks worth), and and trolling rod reel seat ($10). total bill $105. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot to see at the show, and a lot of really knowledgeable reps and demonstrators. One year I spent an hour talking to and watching Doc Ski weave. But from a dollar point of view its hard to save unless its a large ticket item you know is on sale before hand.
