Just had a conversation with my friend. Their feet hurt from walking so much. They had a great time. Accurate did have a 665 two speed at the booth for inspection. They also had a new topless 50 platnium. Both of those are in my future.
There was lot's nice lures and custom rod builders. They filled up a rolling luggage case full of lures. They had to buy the luggage. One of their bags never made it.
I'm hoping some of the lures will be for me.
They enjoyed meeting Cal Sheets and other's guy's you always read about.
They saw a really cool little two speed made by Baker Custom Sportfishing. He is based in Calif. also. It has dual drags and appeared to be very heavy duty. They really liked it. It will be priced at $495. Not being produced yet.
