mercman Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Well, there was a ton of people there.Lots of charters and guiding services.The usual Boat brands, and outboard motor brands, but i was disappointed in the representation of some of the major lure and bait companies.Live Target were not even there Rapala was well represented and i picked up a few clackin cranks and clackin jerks.Shimano was there, as well as Abu, and BTW Solo, i spoke to a rep about the trouble you had with your reel.He was truly saddened by your treatment, and assured me that it was not the standard for the company, and yours was not the only complaint.He assured me that new policy has been put into place and that customer service reps were being retrained I also met Loic and his crew from Fishinstuff. I finally got a chance to examine their rods and new reels closely. Amazing quality products to say the least.The rods are well balanced and sensitive, and the new line of reels are smooth and solid.The reels are spincasters, with a new line of baitcasting coming out next year.Here they are. Loic is the one on the left. Nice Guy too !! All in all,a nice outting. Come on soft water !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lungelarry Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 (edited) Went to the show today,and to tell the truth you guys have a much better show(Spring fishing show)The last 7 years I,ve travelled 12 hours there and back.Problem ours is hunting and camping too. We only had about 5 booths that actually sold fishing stuff.The others were the major manufactuer booths with their new products.I sure wasn't looking at some guys rods ,this is how I roll.......

skeeter Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 BPS wasnt at the show either. Lebarons use to be at the show every year. I loved it cause i would go to there booth first, grab there catalog, then go to the rest of the booths. It was funny to go to a booth where they had a sign "Show Special" then look it up in the catalog and lebarons REGULAR price was cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHINGSTUFFF Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hy guys thank you very much Mercman.

I was really happy to see that Le barons is cheaper for almost everything i compared with BPS. They had a huge booth at the montreal show.I bought a few lures and paid 3 bucks less each, than i paid for the same thing at BPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
