    I am coming. They did a terrible job of marketing that show. As a fishing industry rep, it snuck up on everyone. Nobody even heard of it until that past couple weeks. I will see you there Mike.

    Mark, all the North Texas reps for some of the biggest companies were not even aware. We are talking guys that represent big lines like Zman, Shimano, Costa, 6th Sense, Falcon, Lews/Strike King etc.

    I am all for shows of this kind but if industry folks aren’t even aware, what makes them think the general public does? We need shows like this to be successful so that they return.

    I saw a post on Clunn’s Facebook page about him being there to do seminars. Perhaps the promoters relied on similar social media type sources to promote the show to the public?
