not that many photos this time. the SD card for my trusty little nikon camera took a dump, so it's just a few random cell phone photos. here are the guys at bait wraps. i'd really have a hard time fishing with these. they are more works of art than jigs!

gary grant, darin dohi, and randy penny from united composites. i picked up three blanks, a raptor, a viper and an invictus, for jon vadney to wrap. had a chance to pull on them. very impressive. got about 50 pounds of lift on the invictus and it still didn't bottom out.

hope you enjoyed the short report!
Thanks, Alan --
I never got much of a chance to get out of the booth Fri, Sat, or Sunday.
Neat pics.
Best,
Fred
Thanks Alan!!
I was there half the day Wednesday and got overwhelmed,
It was like my first trip to Disneyland in 1959!
Next year I'll be prepared.
Had some great conversations there.
Bought a slow pitch jigging rod from Kil, He's a great guy.

Alan,
Thank you for those pics.
Your following becomes you.
Good stuff!
Hey Alan, try photorec -http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec on your SD card. Usually the files are still there even if you delete them!
Thanks, I'll take a look!
Nice seeing you on Wednesday. I picked up a Black Hole Challenger Bank s-801h and 3 JRI yoyo jigs and got one free. I got a Saragosa 10k to go with the BH CB last weekend as well from the shop my son works at. It'll be my popping set up.
