I would like to extend a special and sincere "Thanks" to everyone that took the time to come by the Custom Tackle Supply booth and do a little business, jaw jacking or for just visitng with us. It was a pleasure to be with each and every one of you, whether it be customer/friends, competitors or manufacturers/suppliers. I am very fortunate to be in a business that provides so many of you as my best of friends. Thanks to all of you for participating in a great event for this craft. There is a special place in my ole heart where all of you gather and remain. A huge "Thanks" to Tom Kirkman that arranges this "Big Show" for the custom rod building trade. Also a Big Ole Thank You to my staff that endured the show, my son Hunter - the "Bag Man", Coach Bagby, Fuzz Morgan, Perry Brock and Mr. Pat Vinzant. There is also that other group that provide huge support for me at the show, my maufacturer/suppliers, that I must praise -- American Tackle, Anglers Resource/Fuji, Batson Enterprises, G*Loomis, Gudebrod, Lamiglas, Pacific Bay, St. Croix, U-40/Trondak and also one that could not make it due to a terrible accident, but supported me with lots of last minute product, Mr. Flex Coat. What a great event. Just wished it lasted longer somehow, so that I could spend more time with each and every one of you!! We appreciate each and every one of you.
