Don Campbell has got 8 reels he made for this event, plus some very high end fly rods and reels for sale.

Thanks Nosey. I saw Don and spoke with him. He is a very nice guy .Was a bit surprised that his reels except one weren't sold within 15 minutes that I spent there

Had a great morning at the tackle sale. It was great to meet a lot of you in person, as well as Chillispoons, Don Campbell, the Toth kids, and a host of others. Sold some stuff, bought some stuff, as well as heard some great stories.

A hearty thanks to all who stopped by my table, and a special thanks to all who made this event possible. ;D

Great event. Much bigger then the last time I attended a few yrs ago when it was in the church. Got a sweet deal on a Islander cp reel from Mr Gadsden. Was very impressed with all the top quality stuff for sale. Hope this event keeps on trucking.

The Master's reel, it will catch you many fish seeing his hands were on that reel. Thanks to all that bought my floats but still have a thousand or more left for next year and beyond.

Yeah that was us. We really enjoyed talking with you. Good times. It's things like today that bring me back to what the fishing community's really about.

Yes I agree these types of events bring a lot more than just buying and selling gear. The community feel is great and getting to know people on a personal level is even better.

Yes that is why the FVSS puts it on and of course so people can get good deals on my A M floats. ;D ;D Some people picked some up that are close to 50 years old.
