Not going. After an hour of deer calls, duck calls, goose callls, turkey calls, elk calls and others I get a big old headache. Not really a show for fishermen who fish for peace and quiet.
Re: Jim Strader Hunting and Fishing Expo
I did see at least one good deal down there this morning. One of the vendors has All-Star rods for 50 dollars a piece. He said they were new, not re-conditioned. I know when I bought mine a while back, I paid over a 100 dollars for it.

The noise level is way down, this year. Not sure why but not many goose and duck callers, mostly Turkey though there are 2 seminars on waterfowl.
tons of fishing tackle deals.. and more tackle than I have seen in the past.
If you like to fish, you need to see the tackle and ignore the sounds... Its more enjoyable to fish with stuff you saved money on and your stress level is lower as well.

I thought it was a good one this year. I found some great deals. I bought an Airrus rod - and I can't believe this rod. Light as a feather, no cork in front of the reel seat, so your front fingers are resting directly on the blank. Also picked up a new citica for almost nothing after the rebate.
Re: Jim Strader Hunting and Fishing Expo
Bought one AIRRUS rod at the Boat Show, Bought another at Strader Show. Both from A2O. Great people. Thought the show was "expanded" from years past. More "stuff", good seminars, good "deals"
