This past weekend, we attended the tradeshow at the HAPO Center in Pasco, WA, and what an event it was! We were in the same booth as last year (307/309) and it was busy! It was great having the chance to meet so many of you, showcase our newest product, and even sell out of the much-anticipated Havoc HD-30 crankbaits.
Here’s a recap of the highlights from the show!
The Star of the Show: Havoc HD-30 Crankbait
After four years of development, the Havoc HD-30 made its big debut, and the response couldn’t have been better! Designed and made in the USA, this crankbait has been a labor of love for our team, and it was incredible to see so many anglers excited about it.
We brought plenty of popular patterns to the show, and the top three by FAR were:
- Prismatic Perch
- Blue Back Shad
- Dreamcatcher
In fact, the Havoc HD-30 was so popular that we completely sold out by the end of the weekend! A handful of customers and several guides grabbed patterns from the show and hit the water. We later heard that 4–5 guides, along with some of our customers, hit the water the very night they purchased the Havoc HD-30—and they landed fish with it right away. There was even rumor that the Havoc HD-30 could be seen on live scope 100' behind the boat - something you can't do with other baits!
A Special Guest: Tony Fisher from Fisher’s Catch Outfitters
We were thrilled to have Tony Fisher from Fisher’s Catch Outfitters join us in the booth. Tony’s expertise and insights were a huge draw for attendees, and it was great to see so many of you stop by to chat with him about fishing tips, gear, and the Havoc HD-30. If you are looking to get out on the water, make sure to connect with Tony and book a trip. He has 3-4 boats that run around the clock to make sure you have a great experience fishing Trophy Walleye.
Connecting with Customers and Running a Giveaway
One of the best parts of the show was connecting with so many of you in person. Whether you stopped by to check out the Havoc HD-30, sign up for our giveaway, or just chat about fishing, it was awesome to put faces to the names of our customers.
