2/7/09 sportsmans show & flea market Leesburg Pa

[DarkSkies]

Took a ride to the Leesburg indoor farmers market in Leesburg Pa. Lots of cool people, some great deals, and a good time had by all. I think the lady at the door said 900 people came through.

Sonny Schaffer the "this and that" man. This guy had so many old reels they were spilling out of the tubs. He said he doesn't fix em for people, but the ones he had for sale seemed like he at least went over them. Good old quality reels, made to last for decades, not just one season like some of the new plastic stuff today. :)

Look for him at shows in the area.

Flyguy. This is a terrible pic and doesn't even begin to show all the different types and styles this guy had. Mick, your BIL would have been :dribble: at this table.

Norman Wine custom and old lures and plugs. This pic's too blurry, I put it up anyway. It was like turning a page back in time, looking at all the old plugs in that case. :drool:

Bob and JoAnn Jones. Scranton, Pa

We took pics that came out crappy, they don't even begin to show the styles and types of used lures these people had. Freshwater poppers, swimmers, storm thundersticks, bombers, largemouth bass lures, and some bigger jointed swimmers that could be used in the surf.

They had hundreds and hundreds of lures, all at great prices, and they would probably cut you a deal if you bought more than 1. :clapping: I posted the pics so people could get a rough idea of how many boxes and tubs they had. Thye told me that isn't even half of their stuff. :wow: Very nice people, maybe I'll run into them again and can take better pics.

For anyone else, look for these people at the area shows. They're really cool, and you can't beat the selection, variety, and prices. I dare anyone to stare at their table for more than a few minutes without buying anything. :drool: :D
