Anybody who is thinking of going to the Tackle and Tinnie Show purchase your tickets on-line at the Tackle and tinnie website and enter facebook in the promo box and get them for just over half price as they charge an admin fee.
Cheers for the info!
The tickets are $9 (plus $1.25 admin fee). Only catch, it's a minimum of 2 tickets! No good for me!
Sorry about that I didn't realise you had to buy two, you could always sell one at the gate
Lol. Scalping for $9? Ha

Buy the time I paid $30, plus $18 entry I could have just bought SP's for that!

I also went to the show they should just call it the 4x4 and boat show as in my opinion there was stuff all tackle .
unless I'm wrong there was no diawa spokes person no shimano spokes person or stand for these company's . Why would the not want to participate in this show. I went there to get tackle there was no tackle. Appeat from cheap seconds (IMO) and I would not be calling anything cheap that was of any quality I started looking at some live fibre rods I could by them $30 cheaper at my local shop .
i did not see any lure company's either apart from some small guys that I think are starting out as I have never heard of them .
as far as I am concerned the tinni and 4x4 side of the show was good plenty on offer but the tackle side was pathetic if looking at boats,4wd go to the show if after tackle Rods,Reels,Line,lures go to your local tackle shop and invest your $18 there
i was annoyed I wasted my $18. This is my opinion only
cheers scott
Agree with you there about the lack of tackle on offer Jsmfun,
Went yesterday, had a 4 hour window as the missus wanted to go too before she went to work.
Anyway, had a good look at heaps of different tinnies and halfcabs, was great to see them in the "flesh" instead of on the pages of QFM.
I had no idea, but it seems I was in the market for a new boat unbeknown to me!
Funny part is, I left there as the proud owner of a fully optioned Stessco SFX450 pushed along by a Yamaha 3 cyl oil injected 40...The missus threw me a curve ball so to speak, never saw that one coming in a million years, bless her.
We're heading back there this morning as we didn't even get to the 4x4 bit, and she's as keen to have a squiz as I am.
If you're keen to go for the tackle aspect then I suggest don't worry about it, but for a huge range of boats with some awesome deals kicking around, I'd highly recommend it. (sorry for the italic font, don't know what happened lol)
Cheers

that's awsome congrats there is no better surprise for a fisherman-woman than a shiny new boat. might even be able to christen it with a longtail that would be nice. many years of bliss ahead
cheers scott
Ill never forget a mate of mine going a few years ago and getting a so called show special price on a boat motor and trailer package. On his way home, he dropped into the boat dealership that supplied him his quote at the show, and obtained another quote on the exactly same package. The quote from the dealership was less than his quote supplied from the show.
Well I was very disappointed in the show today. I went for the 930,1000 shows which were good. I was really hoping to stock up on some gear but bought nothing. No name lures and plastics. A lot of the plastics were not that cheap and a poor substitute for zmans etc. plenty of riots and reels but nothing special. I looked at a few Abu reels but wasn't very impressed at all. The few hooks I looked at were cheap imports, no quality tackle to be found.
on a positive note, plenty of boats to drool over. If only I could afford to upsize!
