the 2016 fred hall show!

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!





frank murata from daiwa!



danny uribe and ben seacrest.  accurate has some new reels out.  



wendy at izor!  i'm going to start carrying the izor clear for my winding bench!



good ol' kil song!  gotta love this guy.  pound for pound, he has to be the most enthusiastic fisherman i know!





randy and karen pauly from offshore vintage tackle!  they run an absolutely amazing operation.  



tony andreini and bill buchanan from cousins tackle!  i had a chance to tour the factory on thursday morning.  amazing place.  unfortunately, all the photos were lost when that stupid SD card crashed.  





john bretza, denny kaneoka and daniel ramos from okuma!!!!  they continue to have amazing success with their reels and are expanding their line of rods.  





jeff ingram, steve carson, tony dubeck and tom blecker from penn!









robert meyer and ben frazer from avet!  we just finished servicing a three speed reel.  pretty amazing!



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 enjoyed your report and found the manufacturers you chose to highlight interesting. Maybe next year.
