[Ice_Fishin07]

Hey fellow Ice Fishermen/women,

Please post the deals that you found at the show, that you think is worth mentioning. I plan on being there either Saturday or Sunday. Thanks a lot.

I was going to bargan myself a deal on a Vex FL20/camera setup but as of right now I will not be able to make it.

[KrashR]

Going tomorrow, if someone can let me know the best deal they found on catch covers that would be awesome! If not I'll post what I find.

[stillwaterangler]

I'm going tomorrow morning. I'm planning on getting a Clam Nanook Thermal portable. Hoping I can get somewhat of a deal or work a travel cover into the price as well. See you all there!

[leech~~]

I'll be there when doors open tomorrow. Not sure if I need anything but you never know until you see it. I hope the Crown Royal guys are handing out free samples again!

I think I just made my decision to go tomorrow

[Northlander]

Yep, they are there. I got my shot of Christan Bros Honey and some inspiration to organize my ice tackle and rods!

picked up 10 inch jiffy propane auger for $450 with 2 covers going price $519 with no covers plus discounts on everything i bought at reeds.love going to reeds Drew gives some awesome deals 1st day of the show.

[Stick in Mud]

So it's better to go on the first day instead of the second? I'm going to head down either tomorrow or Sunday, but I haven't yet decided which day...

[BuckyBadger]

Agreed, thought Reeds had some nice discounts and were willing to work. I got nice show deals on all of the smaller items I bought from every vendor. Always a fun time! The Snobear girls were a nice addition to the show

[L_Cappo]

yes they were and the clam girls were in good form also.bummed me out they are charging for the calenders now.and yes the 1st day you get the best deals.thats why i try to make it the 1st day.

Did anyone pick up any tungsten jigs? Specifically from fiskas or the new custom jigs and spins. What kind of deals did you get on them? That would be the only thing i really need at this time. But its a 45 minute drive and a ticket cost. Don't know if it would be worth it. So let me know if anyone got deep savings on them. Thank you.

I just got back and picked up a Aqua View Micro for $250 at Kruger farms booth. Best deal in the place and the carrying case gets thrown into the buy when you go to the vu booth and show receipt. Also Northland jigging spoons in the bulk booths were three for $8 instead of $15. Also a lot of augers heading out at great price.

[CigarGuy]

Why doesn't Custom Jigs and Spins doesn't have a presence at the show?

I bought StrikeMaster bibs for 95.00....Had jacket and bibs for 180.00. I tried on a lot of different manufacturers jackets and just don't like how heavy and/or bulky they are!!

[mww24]

you didn't like the strikemaster jacket cigarguy? or just the weight of all the jackets in general? I'm surprised custom jigs and spins doesn't have a booth.

Each piece was $95 or $190 for complete suit, up from the $160 from last year but still a deal

[hookncook]

Wanna score the best deals.. go on the last day when the stores are packing up. My experience from doing shows and talking to fellow vendors, they HATE loading things up. PITA-big time.

Show up cash in hand, make a reasonable offer, most cases yes will be the answer.

[CigarGuy]

Each piece was 95.00 or 180.00 for both. I guess I just don't like larger-bulky jackets. I wear a 2x and they all seemed really big and bulky-maybe it's all the pockets. I prefer a shorter style jacket-like the older two piece snowmobile suits-probably doesn't keep your lower back/arse as warm, but that's what I like. Can't remember which jacket were noticeably heaver. Almost pulled the plug on the StrikeMaster jacket, but decided to stick with my down filled camo jacket.

[morepower02]

I will be they tomorrow afternoon to pick up a jiffy 8 inch propane. If any vendors have a deal please shoot me a pm!

The Frabill FXE SnoSuit jackets are short (snowmobile-style, according to a Frabill rep I talked with). That's why I didn't buy one and only picked up the bibs. Either are only $179 at Marine General.

I got the same deal on the Jiffy 10'' propane augar and didn't even have to ask for it! 2 free covers and a hat!

[Blaker55]

Reeds for 8" Jiffy propane for $420. Then go to the Jiffy booth and get a cover and free cap(s).

Frabill three legged chair at $14.99 got it for $10.00 when buying Frabill sled hitch for $39 (reg $49) and hyper wear bars for $39 (reg $49).

12 Volt computer fans for hard shack for $2.99 ea.

Thanks. I'll check it out tomorrow
