Wondering if anyone noticed if there were any vendors there with long crappie pokes? Intesersted in 8,9,10,12’ poles. Not sure if I want to make the drive.
thanks

Hang on. I'll help you in 77 minutes.
Check out Southern Crappie rods out of NC. I am extremely happy with my 14’ rods. Give him a call. He was very helpful when I was making my decision.
Fishing shows in Virginia are a great place to buy a hot tub, gutter guards, windows, and ADT security systems. Fishing/boating stuff not so much.

I was surprised that no BassCat’s were there. Not in the market but always like to drool. I picked up a couple of painted cranks but that was it. Was there about an hour.

Wishing for the old days...Bassarama
My son and I went just to spend some one-on-one time together and kill a couple of hours on a cold, rainy day. He picked up a dozen flies from one vendor to use as models when he's tying his own, and a hoodie, just because he needed a new one. He also got a fairly stout lesson in kayak safety from one of the kayak vendors reps out of Gloucester which, was a reminder to him that dad's constant requests for float plans, location services turned on and regular check-ins are not just Dad being a pain in the arse, LOL. Not much to see/do as usual. But we enjoyed our time together so, there's that.

We went. Not very good this year

That was a great show in its time!
It was definitely not a good show. I say every year i am not going, but what else are you going to be doing on a rainy cold day?? I did have to deliver some oil to a guy that bought some from me, so that is the main reason I went. Dave's tx Tackle was not even there. I cannot remember him ever not being at a show. With online sales and social media, shows are not as valuable as they once were.

I miss the days when they had this show at the state fairgrounds and would fill all the buildings there with boats and fishing related vendors. I even remember Hooters girls being there to support a tournament trail that they sponsored. That was a big deal when you were 15 years old. It was one of the biggest shows around.
And that guy with the small casting tank showing off that crazy lookning spinnerbait/chatterbait/skited bait with the big wires to keep it from hanging up when coming thru brush. Those were the days. And the ladies from Greene Boat and Motor were so nice. They would price up the rig right there for you. Of which I had no way of affording.

Shockingly Dave wasn't at the Raleigh show either. I usually go to VA show with my dad but he came to Raleigh this year. He ended up at Virginia show solo and said he'd seen it all in about an hour.
Dave was not at the Raleigh show either….and I brought the gift certificate my kids got me for Christmas!

The last show Bruce went to had Depends and Life Alerts on display next to the aluminum wheel chair ramps.
