Ok guys and gals, we're thinking about setting up at one of these shows and want to know which one is a better show? Which one do you prefer and which do you think we would do better at?
Thanks,
Charlie

I think I'd skip the Louisville Boat Show...went last year and was very disappointed.![]()
Never been to the Strader Show...
Might be better off headin' west to the KY Lake area where there's no shortage of bass anglers and hitting up a show there.
The Murray Boat Show is one I attend annually. It usually always has a good turnout and attracts more of the people you wish to do business with.

Charlie the Strader show for sure. Louisville boat show is for boats. Go to both every year and think the Strader would be better. Plus its only 3 days vs 8 or 9 at the Boat Show.

The "Boat Show" wreaks.....one big commercial. Total waste of time..Unless you are buying a new boat, rv, tent, $2.00 sun glasses, a rag that absorbs you bathtub, gold chain...BY THE FOOT....knives that will cut through BuzzKings head and still slice an extra ripe grape, purple spray crap that cleans EVERYTHING, German roasted nuts, some kind of exotic jerky...HOWEVER...THEY DO SELL BEER....SWEET ICE COLD BEER.....................Strader sho fo sho!![]()
Yeah Roddy if I remember right you were at the Murray show everyday. Just couldn't get enough of our baits and Dave's seminars.

I have been to the Louisville boat for the for last 8-10 years. I was never impressed with the tackle selection but last year was a real disappointment...I think I had a bigger selection in my boat than what they had at the boat show.
I have never been to the Jim Strader show. This year I will skip the Louisville boat show and go to the Strader show.
OK guys am lost, never heard of the Strader Show.
Where is it, and when?

I have never been to the Jim Strader Hunting and Fishing Expo. I have always heard it was a good show with more hunting than fishing but still a good show?

see im different t i think the strader show is a ripoff plus its downtown and my truck doesnt fit in the parking garagesIt just seems to me if your actually looking at the booths the same things are at the boat show.Other then a handful of the smaller hunting lodges and such.Plus its more of a local show since the big crowd goes to the boat show .Plus since there wasnt a ton of tackle booths this guy might have the marker a lil cornered at the boat show,But guess it might actually come down to cost of table or booth space in that case im sure strader is the cheaper ride
