Hamilton / Ancaster Fishing Tackle Swap Meet - OldTimer - 03-22-2014 02:22 PM
Just came across this - perhaps of interest to some:

Is in a much larger venue this year. Last year was way too crowded.

Just got back from this............ was a lot better and definitely bigger this year, and worth going.
I got a nice heavy action 10' telescopic and replenished my BIG lead sinker stock. My lady got a few good NEW lures that caught her fancy at way less than 1/2 price.
Probably about 100 teams selling stuff - place was packed with people when I was there .............
Recommended. This venue made the difference.
Cheers,
OldTimer

Ok that's great thanks, I like the idea of a tackle swap. Has anyone been to this in the past? Is it worth driving an hour and a half for?

I've been to this 3 times now over the years to restock on BIG lead sinkers for cat fishing. I live a few miles away from it.
Truthfully - I really didn't see much swapping going on when I was there................. - but I did go quite early in the day every time.
I would say that there are some deals to be had on the absolute mountains of used stuff. Plus it's a great place to try and find a part for an old favorite reel, or a discontinued item you prefer.
Great place to pick up a high end rod if your into refurbishing & "re-wrapping/coating"
But - I wouldn't spend 3 hours and $30+ of gas for my needs.
