    Glad I didn’t go to the Classic

    I wanted to in the worst way, just couldn’t make it work.

    I wanted to go to the expo. Then when Bass Cat announced Project Predator I really wanted to be there.

    Regardless, I spent the last two days watching the Classic on Live while in the garage reorganizing and cleaning the boat.

    By the amount of tackle in my rig, it is a good thing I didn’t make to the expo.

    I need to scale back and donate some stuff to the local High School teams.

    The expo is so good though. I encourage everyone to go if you get the chance.

    Oh I know, I was at the one in Orlando.

    I want to go back. Maybe next year.

    Sorry you didn't get to go to the classic, but Bill2e, there is Always a reason to buy tackle, even if you don't get to the classic expo

    I’ve never been. What is the appeal of the expo? Seems like a shopping trip for the same stuff you could buy at any tackle store or online.

    Some very good deals at the expo, as well as getting to see some of the newest stuff on the market.

    When the classic was at Conroe I went to the expo on Friday and Sunday. It was a lot to see and do in just one day. Got a little bit of free stuff and a few good deals. Especially on Sunday. It was definitely worth going to when I went.

    It's ok, you can still make it to redcrest in a couple weeks and spend all that money you saved .
