the best part of the show for me by a long shot was having a listen to Jim Clohessy blabbering on for a very quick 45 minutes about Blues and Bass he makes time pass very quickly a pleasure and fun to listen too fair play to ya jim .
now it comes to the huge amount of tackle i purchased a new little boat rod for the smaller species 2 spools of fluro, 2 packets of swivels and a Lead mould i couldnt refuse (priced Wrong) it was very hard to hold a straight face when shoving the money into his hand to compleat the transaction as quick as i could

The recent show in swords turned up a blank for me on that score,i would of had more luck fishing for mobey dick than getting what i needed. only one guy on one stand (i'm sorry i can't remember which one,but he was scottish if that helps,lol ) showed any real intrest in my problem,which throws me back to the first point...if the companies want to have shows and sell us stuff,at least stock the f*king stuff!!!
oh yeah,sorry. i got some decent epoxy-like resin from Henrys tackle in Ballybough and some surgeons thread from a theatre cleaner guy where i work(a hospital) so happy days,all's well that ends well!
the surgeons thread is f*cking perfect by the way,a bit like the sewing thread in denim jeans!
