Erik and I recovered from being overwhelmed with the expansiveness of the show and did a much better job photographing and videoing the deals and activities. Here’s Erik trying the Progressive Insurance boat simulator. You can tell by the Progressive gal’s expression in the second photo that Erik’s actual boat skills didn’t translate well to the simulator.
I’ll write a more detailed post with supporting video in the next few days but here’s some quick highlights:
Turner’s Outdoors seemed to be discounting all the rod brands they sold
Phenix Rods were heavily discounted also
This “no-name” brand of vertical jigs looked like other popular brands but was much cheaper
And look how cheap their sabikis were!
Check out the realistic patterns on these Pacific Lures iron jigs. Some designs were from photographs of Hawaiian fishes.
They had the Taiwanese based Jigging Master rods, reels and jigs
And even had a free, indoor air soft rifle range
Wow, I would be broke, but happy like a kid unsupervised in a toy store!
Yup Rich, we had to exercise impulse control. We had to repack our baggage and carry ons though, cuz we did bring back large items and heavy items!
Sabiki DEALS!
