Minnesota Ice Show

[Holaey]

Anyone,

Can anyone out there shed some light on that big Ice fishing show down in Minneapolis that is around the 1st weekend in Dec.?

I have heard that in past years there is one somewhere down there.

Is it worth going?

What all do they all have on display?

Is there any deals to be had?

Times,date, location?

Any info would be great.

Thanks

Holaey

I have one more ? for this topic, will Thorne Brothers be at the show? Thanks DP

I would be suprised if Thorne Brothers wasnt there.

Its a great place to spend an afternoon, its not like we'll have fishable ice by then so what else will their be to do?

As far as the deals go its seems like there havnt been very many amazing deals the past few years. Most places will have some sort of special sale but you can usually haggle with the vendors to try and get yourself an even better deal.

Will you have a sweetheart of a deal for me?

You betcha Tom! There are a few new rods being made this year from Thorne Bros that will be part of their "standard" line-up without additional mods. Look for a 32-inch Panfish Sweet Heart, a 32-inch Perch Sweet Heart, as well as a new line of Hidden Hood Handle rods that add a new dimension to reel seat ice rods... all of these rod are currently available on the www.ThorneBros.com website...
