2016 Milwaukee Ice Fishing & Winter Sports Show

Is this show worth going to?

I was there last year and thought it was worth it. Found good deals on things and am going back this weekend. Its less than a 90min drive for me

I was there a few years ago and thought it was good. While it defintly is not the St. Paul show it is better than nothing. I am heading there on friday. I have a few things I am looking for this year.

I just chuckle to myself. I am from SE Wisconsin and went to the show last year. I told my buddies the big ticket item will be a new ice fishing bucket. Low and behold as we were walking in people were streaming out clutching a shiney new blue Clam plastic pail. I thought to myself they must be giving them away. Upon entering the show I found out they were not free, and the price was like 5 or 10 bucks. Here in WI a major purchase is a new bucket unlike you Minnesota guys who walk out with a purchase contract for a new Ice Castle.

That’s funny coming from a guy that’s set up way better than the average ice troller.

I was there last year on Saturday and got my free bucket, I believe the first 100 or 150 people got it free

They just had Clown figured out.

Just being the trail blazer that I am. Lighting the way for others.

Just got back from the show.
Good deal on tungsten jigs, Widow Maker, they have hard to finder bigger ones for whitefish.
Friend got a great deal on a Striker suit at Thornes, $110 cheaper than what I have seen out there.
Some interesting plastics.
Saw big ticket stuff moving pretty good.

Worth the $9.00 for sure.

were there any deals on a marcum showdown sonar? Not the smaller ice troller, but its big brother Thanks.
