Hello Rick,
Will MC be selling tickets for this event at the Toronto fishing show in Feburary?
Will Renney baits be one of the vendors at the muskie show?

Thanks.

[Rick S]

Tickets WILL be on sale at the Toronto Fishing Show,you will be able to get them at the Muskies Canada booth.
I don't know if Rennie Baits will be there; I sure hope so as I think they make great lures.
I will contact the committee chairman regarding this and post here any info I get.
I hope that you are able to get to the show.
Cheers

RENNY BAITS At MUSKIE ODYSSEY UPDATE:
I just talked to Ian Rintamaki who makes Renny Bait's "Shoal Shocker" and Renny Baits WILL be at the show.

[Nighthawk]

Thanks for the quick replies Rick.I look forward to another muskie Oddesey.The HUGE bucktail I picked up from Renney in '01 has been worked over pretty good. :)

Lunge locker is another small company that makes nice baits you don't see anywhere else.I also hear good things about some unique spinner baits that should be availible.Looking forward to it.

Just some additional Odyssey info:
I was talking to Dave Dutchak our 'booths' chairman for vendor display areas for muskie tackle and we are down to the last two booth spots. If you plan to attend to sell muskie tackle, please contact him ASAP as it is first come-first served as far as space goes.
Unfortunately, I think a few of the folks who expect to be there may be too late if they don't hurry as booth space went very quickly.
His email address is on our site:

Is this the same Ian that makes the Grandma style baits that I ordered at the last Oddysey, called several times last summer, and am still waiting for? Just wondering. Mark

Hey guys and gals! Would it be possible for someone to post the list of the tackle vendors that will be present at the show? You know, I must adjust my budget accordingly... if I want to survive when I get back home and tell how many lures I have bought to....... ;-) Thanks for your help! Tight lines! Pat

[Trophymuskie]

Why not go to the Muskies Canada site and ask the persons in charge there? It would be much easyer to get an answer. I am sure there are e-mails and phone numbers you can use.

Keep releasing them all

Nothing wrong with asking here....

[Trophymuskie]

Nope nothing wrong but the good folks from Muskies Canada responsible for this event are not here. I was trying to help him by guiding him in the right direction. I could of given him the information here but I would rather he went and got it himself of the Muskies Canada site.

Lord this is a weard site.
