i was there also and i had no business being there!!....after placing that order with TW earlier this week.

i am now having buyers remorse:-( ...really i am and i dont like it!
anyway, i managed to get 2 of the 6 inch huds, those went real fast!!! you were only allowed 2 of them.

i got 2 three packs of matts minnows, 2 little anthonys along with weighted hooks....i grabbed a tylure injured shad that had a cool little prop but after awhile put it back, started to get that feeling like what the hell am i doing!
also grabbed 3 5packs of basstrix paddle tails tube baits, you were limited to 3 packs only....
also grabbed a 7 inch triple trout and had no idea what it cost till i got to the register ;( ...
grabbed a tube of mega strike....a tube of mend-it but put it back after telling myself what the hell are you doing!!! i just ordered some other glue from TW!!
i also got a castaic rock hard series you know that new one, but after walking around, i heard that voice again! so i put it back...damn it!!! by the way the floaters were the first to go...did you know they are made in mexico?
the punkers...oh my! i only picked it up and quickly put it back but i went back 3 times and almost put it in my basket,,,yeah, the voice!!
right down from the punkers was the guide select rods, so i grabbed one and blocked out the voice...hehe

you see i was only going to go to that event if work was slow, im on the graveyard shift right now, and it was, doh! so i left work at 4am and got to the event at 530am and there was about 15 guys there.

as you know i am just getting into the freshwater bass swimbait fishing.
i am familiar with the saltwater swimbait fishing. so it was really wierd being around all the different swimbaits, it was cool tho as i have only scene them on the web.

i saw the rouge swimbait rods for 169.00, that was a sale says the guy pushing the rod, but the voice told me no!

so i went with that guide select.

i think those bait boxes are crazy over priced 20 to 25 bucks!
ill make my own.

anyway as bad as feel i had a good time. saw skeet reese with his wierd yellow shoes, good lord!..haha

you know how much they charged me for the 6 inch huds? 25 bucks, didnt know that till i got to the register, where was my fn voice then!! they sure do look awesome tho..



i cant believe what i did this past week all these baits i bought today plus a slammer, matt trout, matt red ear, wag tail, and baitsmith still in the mail....im feeling queasy, i dont like it...

i didnt have a good time as said eralier....i had a great time!!
maybe ill feel better if i can go catch something on these baits!!

so, 3 hundy later i am home and feeling really bad!!!
i need to go take a nap ( :-(
