Cabela's Fishing Expo

[Daze Off]

This coming weekend is supposed to feature bass fishing seminars as well as electronics seminars - anyone know what specific topics or who's presenting them?

Daze Off

[Deitz Dittrich]

Daze-No I don't... I will be there working, but not giving a seminar this time, (at least I hope I am not). They usually have some outstading deals this weekend. If you do stop in, please look me up in the rod/reel section and say hi.. I'll have a Shimano shirt on.

This is the first I've heard of them. Should I hit the expo in Blaine on Friday, then this one Sunday morning?

[Deitz Dittrich]

Lost- I don't know... Its the cabelas expo, its just like normal cabelas but they will have more deals, and reps there to answer questions. I think if you are looking into buying some gear, its a good weekend to go down, talk to the reps and prostaffs of different companies and get some questions answered!

If you do go make sure you stop and say hi!

[Stratosman]

Dietz,

pick me up a few curado's, I'll pay you, I promise.

[Deitz Dittrich]

LOL @ strats... a dozen be enough?

[Superduty]

As long as Stratosman is buying, I'll take a dozen also. And a few crucials, chronarchs, stellas... Whatever you got laying around!

I wished I would have known you were going to be there this weekend. Last year you sold me a nice shimano 7' im8 rod and reel. I went last weekend expecting to see you, but I bought a rod of the new line, im9 (crucial?) 7' for worming. Gonna use one of my im8 for cranks.

I don't have a reel though. Still have same deal if you buy a reel get some power pro to go with ? :-)

[Deitz Dittrich]

Carl-Glad I was able to meet up with you this weekend to get that reel for that Crucial!.. its going to be an awesome set up! After you get a few fish on it this spring you will have to let me know how you like it!

Strats and super.. we plum ran out of the free chronarchs... bummer

[Stratosman]

kinda figured as much

Deitz what days were you there? Me and the wife went down on Saturday and what a zoo that place was You couldnt even walk through most of the store, looked all over the fishing area but never did see ya, sales had to be through the roof there, it was unbelievable how many people were there. I personally cant wait for Rogers to open up considering I only live about 10 minutes away, that way I can visit on Monday mornings and not have the whole world there with me!

[Deitz Dittrich]

Riv Rat- I was there Saturday and Sunday... I'll be back next month for the club card event!

[LEECH21]

I was at Cabela's on Sunday and the place was nuts. We parked like half a mile away from the doors. I picked up my first musky combo and a few baits.

[Deitz Dittrich]

believe it or not... saturday was twice as busy as sunday...

[carlcmc]

Have they sent out notices what the club card event will entail? I'm a new member as of january. If its more Shimano specials, I may have a hard time convincing my wife to let me buy another $120 7' Crucial and $120 shimano reel (forgot name). :-)

[Deitz Dittrich]

Carl, The club card is a really neat deal that Cabelas puts on.. If you have a cabelas club card(credit card) you show up and they either put $30 or some dollar ammoun on your card just for showing up... If you dont have any debt on your card they then give you a gift cert instead.. Then if you bring a friend, you sign them up.. you get a bonus of another $30 or whatever it is... I sold a Aqua-Vu to a dude last year at a club card event who brought in like 6 frends and almost paid for his Aqua-Vu...

FYI.. you bought the Shimano Stradic... a very sweet reel... VERY SWEET!... Sold like 20 of them yesturday.

[Cooter]

Can't beat the deals there - I wonder how many of their IM6 and 7 rods they'll sell. Got myself the Cab. Prestige spinning reel and picked out a nice Fish Eagle II muskie rod for free

[carlcmc]

I had fun bringing it home and spooling it with some nice 20lb bright yellow powerpro. I know you like to use mono for your worming, but I'll try this and see how it works. I've had great success with the green powerpro. But with the yellow powerpro i may be able to see the line move easier. Hopefully won't turn off the fish.

[Deitz Dittrich]

Carl- To each thier own man... what works for you, you stick with! Always do what is best for you and you will catch more fish. You may not see a drop in bites at all with the hi vis line. Or you might... worse case senario you just bring a dark blue or black sharpie marker in the boat... I may go with the blue, it may turn the line green then? and then only color the last 5 feet or so..
