Barren BassMasters Open Fishing Tackle Swap Meet

[TR21Bassin]

I don't go to Bass Pro and its free. The only time I buy anything from chain stores is if I have received a gift card from someone.

I'd rather give my money to these small shows and small tackle shops.

Nicely said Charlie . . . I feel the same way. I usally leave alot of money with the venders when I leave. Anything from vintage & old collectable lures . . . gently used rods and reels, baits(discontinued,hard to find fish catchers) guys selling their hand crafted lures (hair jigs for bass and crappie; spinnerbaits; hand poured plastics; as well as hard body and wooden crankbaits) Some of the best craftsmanship I have ever seen or witnessed!
I have been going to this swap for years. The showhas been very good to me! Enjoy it very much . . it also cures cabin fever blues! Mel

I was just trying to point out that with hard economic times it's hard not only to afford to fish but to have to go to a place to pay to buy equipment.
