I was able to attend the 72nd Annual Fred Hall Show held in Long Beach on 7-11.
I arrived there at 9:45 AM during the rains (doors opened at 10:00) and I enjoyed being inside on this rainy day until approx 5:00 PM at which time I departed during the rains. The place was fully packed with people.
It was like being at Disneyland during the Christmas holidays ... it was rather difficult to maneuver thru the crowds! lol
Parking increased to $15 .... oh well ... that was the price!
I ended up buying (2) two new reels: Diawa Ballistic LT 2500D reels w/ Mag Seals. Reel made from Zion material ... super lite and super strong.
Also purchased a few packages of the ... Z Man 10XTough Trick ShotZ:
4.2" Green Pumpkin Goby and 4.2" Bad Shad. They float!
I spent about 45 minutes at the 7 Bass booth and I was truly inspired by all the people that took an interest in the 7 Bass tubes and in float tubing in general.
7 Bass have a float tube that is very comparable to both the Outcast Fish Cat and the Cumberland. Worth looking at!
I'm glade that I had a chance to check out their complete line of float tubes and Flatforms.
I also had the pleasure of running into some ol' SWAT friends while I was there ... that was very cool!
