After years of building a better show for the bass angler, this 2007 show on January 12 at Rock Financial Showplace could easily be seen as a bass anglers winter dream. Upgraded tackle selections have come along and the seminar line-up is like icing on the cake. You might be coming because of the NBAA, TBF, MBCF, Fisher’s of Men or other bass organizations. While you’re here, you might want to plan your day(s) to catch some top-of-the-line national speakers at Lake Ultimate, local bass celebrities at seminar stages or watch how bass are caught at the crowd favorite, bass tank.
