It's fun to check stuff out even if you don't buy. I went by the Avet group outside the LB covention center to cast their new reels (and effed up with a BIG bird's nest on their new magnetic reel that was supposed to limit that stuff!) and got a free hat for their trouble, bought some unibutter for the first time (seemed like a good deal and supported local business). Also learned to fly cast (only the basic cast, obviously) and watched seminars on the new frog lure and some other stuff. Should have brought some dull knives because a sharpener-seller was offering to show me how well his stuff worked. Also they had big outdoor fishing pond for the little kids. My kids are too big now but lots of little ones there getting their feet wet, so to speak. I just think its like being in a big candy store for fishing and outdoors. And I did the United Angler deal, it's only slightly more than admission and for a good cause.
I'm going again this year even if I don't buy anything.
