Cecil -

What do you think the Shimano guys will say if I bring a bag full of Chronarchs and Curados and Scorpions for them to clean instead of Calcuttas and Trinidads smile

I don't know. Keep in mind they aren't going to clean your reels for you. You belly-up to the bar and they show YOU how to do it. They dont do anything other than walk you through the steps and give some tips.

I'd rather have that, anyway. The first time I took apart one of my Abus, I put one tiny little thing in backwards that totally screwed things up. I'd take it apart, stare at it like a goat stares at a new fence, and put it back together with the same result every time. It took me about a dozen times of trying before figuring it out.

Love to meet any and all of you. I'll be there all weekend Fri-Sun. Will be in the Whispering Winds Resort booth, but also spending some time at the Bemidji/Cass Lake Chapter booth and maybe some time in the MMPA booth also. Look forward to attaching some faces to the names! I'll not appreciate the lighter wallet too much especially when I won't be able to use the stuff I buy until June!

Went to the show today with my 3 year old and had a blast. I was very happy with the lures that the kids were able to make and the very friendly people that took pictures of my daughter and I at the head cut-out of the big muskie. Thorne Bros had pretty good deals and I was able to score a Abu Garcia Revo 60. Brought the reel to the Abu booth and got it loaded with 80# line with the backing and a long sleeve shirt. All and all a great show. The only down side was how hot it was in the gym, but really not complaining because it was HOT!!

I was at the show Saturday. I came for two reasons, To see how to clean my reel and to chat with Deitz. I liked that Shimano showed you how to clean your reels. I like it even better that Abu cleaned them for me. I saw several different types of reels tore down at the show. I saw how easy my reels were to take apart. I learned several things from listening, watching the techs work.

After visiting Deitz at Throne Brothers, and making him give me a sales pitch I decided to pick up a reel. What the heck at 50% off! you cant beat that. Just Kidding It was only 20% I couldn't talk Thorne Brothers into giving me a couple show deals. frown

I am happy with the purchase I made on my new Shimano reel! Now I can't wait to hit the water and try it out and see if the species I fish for will destroy the reel in one season or if it will keep on kicking!! I guess I will be there next year learning how to clean my Shimano!

Cecil, I didn't get a chance to chat with you, but every time I walked by the Shimano booth it was pretty busy! Hope you and Deitz had a good lunch on Saturday!

Yeah, it was a bit crazy there on Saturday. I was actually at the Reeds booth all weekend selling Shimano products...

And yes, our lunch was good!

Had I known that I would have seen who had a better pitch. I did contribute to your paycheck though wink Deitz talked me into a reel smile I probably bought your lunch wink jk
