GRIZZLY JIG ROAD TRIP: JAN. 25 - 28, 2018

Grizzly Jig Travelers - January 24th - 28th, 2017
We’re planning another road trip to the 2018 Grizzly Jig Tackle Show in Caruthersville, MO! If you’re interested in going, we suggest you start making plans now before the motels fill up. Attached is last year’s Schedule of Seminars and Events and as you can see each day is full off seminars, Q&A sessions and demonstrations given by Crappie Professionals. There are also some great sales on Crappie fishing equipment. Respond to this post if you are interested in traveling with our group or needing to share a room. Don’t wait too long……this is a great Crappie fishing learning experience! A current Schedule will be posted as soon as it is available.

Travel Schedule
Jan. 24th, Wednesday
8:00 am - Leave OKC

Jan. 28th, Sunday
12:30 pm - Depart Grizzly Jig
9:00 pm - Arrive OKC

Room Reservations for Grizzly Jig Tackle Show - Jan. 24^th (Wed) - Jan. 27^th(Sat) (4 nights)
The best deal we've found for these dates are at the Quality Inn in Hayti, MO which is 10-15 minutes from Caruthersville, MO., 1500 Highway 84, 1.573. 359.2200. I booked online through "Choice Hotels". Room rates were $74.00 per night (not including taxes) for a room with 2 double beds. Includes Breakfast. Reservations can be cancelled 24 hours before arrival date. There may be a "Special Rate" for Grizzly Jig. I will check on this and report back. The Receptionist indicated they typically fill up on the Tackle Show weekend. The schedule is to drive over on Wednesday, Jan. 24th and drive back to OKC on Sunday afternoon, January 28th. The drive is 554 miles and about 8 1/2 hours. If you plan on going, I suggest making your reservation now and cancel the reservation if your plans change.

Thats nice setup but have way too much plastics like 7 boxes but thanks.have ordered from grizzly tackle in past good shipping and they got good prices. Thank for info guy

Hey fellows hope you're having aa great time. That pic looks like cereal isle at walmart

Great event !!!.....the Grizzly Jig folks go out of their way to make you feel appreciated as a customer and as a new friend. The seminars that the professionals and guides put on were excellent. Oklahoma was well represented......there were eleven Okies there attending the seminars, representing sponsors or giving seminars. We made many more friends from other states and we are in the preliminary planning stages of making road trips to attend their Crappie camps in Mississippi, Tennessee and Alabama. More information later....enjoyed traveling with our group! Woodworker42 (Merle) summed it up for me, while we were resting at a church sponsored fund raiser for their youth camp, when he said " when we travel we always meet good people...you just have to talk to them" We met some great folks at the Grizzly Jig 2018 Tackle Show! Thanks Wade and Family...see you next year!!!!

It was a Grand Ole Time. Really enjoyed the company and seeing everyone once again. Looking forward to the campouts as well. The Grizzly Jig Show should be on every crappie fisherman’s to do list just once.....Ranger
