Saltwater Expo

[Jigman13]

Jigging world had 20% off yesterday. Picked crazy Alberto's brain at the st croix booth for about 30 mins. The guys at meltzers were awesome. They were offering up som nice deals on the high end stuff. If anyone is interested in deep dropping w electric, efingers booth had a tanacom bull 750 for like $550. That's a crazy steal for that reel. Doubt it lasted thru yesterday without being gobbled up, but worth checking out. Joe Schute has some cool tweaks to his stuff too. Def worth the time swinging by there. The 8 oz and 5 3/4 oz glow heads with glow Mylar are gonna be killer!

Spent the day with Kevin Bogan and it was non-stop selling rods all day long... couldn't resist these life-like lures right across from us... they had them swimming in little tanks and I finally had to get a couple to try out. The place was packed yesterday and all the vendors seemed to have a Great Day... and I couldn't stop eating the pickles all the way home!!

I grabbed one of the minnows in the herring pattern. Pretty eager to see how it performs!

All Bogan rods are discounted for show... really great values for those rods...fluke, striper, sea bass, blackfish and tuna rods

Just wanted to thank all NJFISHING members for stopping by to say hello and introduce themselves. Also a pleasure speaking with people from this forum.

Special thanks for those who sat through the seminar we presented at each day. I hope that my enthusiasm and knowledge will help you improve your fluking experience.

So there were rattle tail bucktails available there.....new concepts I guess. Wondering if any other tackle sellers or manufacturers were opposed to this or had concerns?

Met a gang of old friends while working the Shu Fly booth. Al Ristori and fly legend Joe Blaze came by to sample some of our new fly rods which are really getting popular. We were selling L/R hand fly reels for $40 with tapered fly line already spooled on them. Good deal that was. We blew out of bunch of real nice blackfish/cod poles for $50 each. Fuji guides on some nice blanks. We will be coming out with some first class light saltwater rods with cork grips and butts in a few months.
I want to thank Billy Meltzer for selling my son his first surf pole at a great deal. Meltzer Sport Shop has been in business for many decades. Their prices are more than fair. I saw a hundred or more rods walking by with the orange Meltzer signs attach to them. They have seasoned fishermen as sales people, which is rare nowadays.
Thanks again to everyone who came by. It made my 10 hours go by fast. -Cuz-
