When will there be a tackle/boat show in the sydney area?
Brisbane just had a boat and tackle show, when is there one in sydney? Do these have a lot of tackle as well or mostly boats? Jack --------------------  |

I think that the link you want is this one. http://www.4x4show.com.au/ They do not have the information for the Sydney show as yet and by what I gathered it could be in November. I went last year but do not remember which month (November ?). They do have good bargains and a lot of things to play with, but last year the prices were not that good. Here is something that I will post on what happened. I walked in and you would normally start from one place and just walk around. Well as it turned out I missed the first row and found something that I though was good. I asked the price and he told me. I put it down and kept walking. I found another store that had a display buy four for the X price. Then if you divide that by four it was still more expensive than the single one on offer at the first store that I went to. So buyer beware. |

Yep... Same topic comes up every year and same answers seem to appear every year and same people get jipped by going and thinking they are getting a bargain and they are not..
Good thing about them is if your after a product then everything is there to compare it against, say if your after a new boat.. |

The show is a lot of fun. I had played with a few things and purchased something. Last show was not as good as the previous show in what I was expecting. They will tell you that they get bigger and better every year but for last year that was not the case. I know that I will go to the coming one and I will again try and find out if I can get discounted tickets but that does not always happen. Here is something for you guys. If you hear of a way to get discounted tickets please let me know.
