ICRBE Booths?

Can I get a rough estimate of how many booths there are at the ICRBE? All rod building, or tackle shops too?

About 75 to 80, usually. With the exception of perhaps 2 or 3, all are related to custom rod building. I typically turn down companies that aren't somehow involved with rod building. While it would be nice to sell another 20 or 30 booths, I'd just as soon not have potato peelers, foot massagers, shammy skins and other assorted knick-knack stuff in the hall. Last year I did allow a duck decoy dealer in, but that's been about it.

All the booths, save for 4, are now sold. Floor plan will be up in another week or so.

I should have stated that I was talking about the upcoming show. I have been there before and so have an idea what past ICRBEs were like. Thanks.

It would have been a testament to how realistic the duck and goose calls were. They were, by the way, very well crafted.......just a little over the top after the first hour
