The outdoor shows get an early start with the Ultimate Fishing Show at the Rock Financial Showplace in Novi, MI, January 8,9,10 and 11. This year's show is packed with all kinds of fishing related booths, including boat dealers, fishing tackle manufacturers, and retailers. Located near Lake Ultimate, their is a booth that will have many new items to show off to you this season. Some of the NEW items that will be on hand in the booth will be a working Power Pole. Power Pole is a fantastic system. You'll also notice another new section in the booth.. "Rig It Boards" This interactive display will not only show the beginner how to rig some of the hottest rigs, even the seasoned angler will want to take note and stop by and see this hands on display. Plus, don't forget when you stop by the booth to vote on the Bass Pro Shops Big Ugly contest. You'll have 12 choices to choose from and you'll want to pick your favorite. You'll also want to fill out the Bass Pro Shops rewards entry forms for a chance to win a prize. Winners will be randomly drawn from these entries for gift cards to Bass Pro Shops. NEW Ultimate Casting Competition Here is a competition that will test not only your abilities but this will test your abilities under pressure. This competition is designed to be both fun and intensely competitive for hard core anglers of all ages. Contestants will compete in a side-by-side timed "cast-off." A special course has been designed with target rings at various distances. Each timed event will be 3 minutes, with the winner of each preliminary event being awarded a prize. High scores will be tracked with the top finishers being invited back for the "regional" championship on Sunday. Scoring will be based on the total score of clean ringers as calculated by the judges. Winners will be determined by total score. Ties will be settled by a "cast off." Check in at the NBAA both to sign up at the show, no pre-registration required, first come first served based on available time. An official judge will be on hand officiating the competition and will determine the grand champion. Also, don't forget the seminars! There will be top regional pros on hand giving seminars daily, check for all the details.
