ICAST 2017
 

As usual ICAST was HUGE...!
If you ever get a chance to attend this extravaganza you should do so as it's the biggest sport-fishing show in the US.
Every major manufacturer of fishing or sporting goods is there...including lots of international companies and tons of Mom and Pop lure makers hoping to make it big.
We set up the Promar/AHI booth on Monday then spent Tuesday at an on the water event to demo kayaks cast the new rods and reels and throw a few cast nets.

This show is so big I thought I'd let you get to feel that overwhelmed feeling by just posting up a bunch of photos...I'll let the real pros in the mags and online blogs tell you what was new...

Thanks for sharing. I'll try to get in to the show one of these days.

Those Bote boards look amazing.

How did the Bonafide boats look up close? Knowing that whole story, I'm really intrigued on how well they do.

I can't wait to see what Okuma and Daiwa have to offer this year. I need to decide which brand I fully dive into bed with and lately I've been leaning towards Okuma....

If you are military or first responder I would go with Okuma. They have a pretty solid discount. I believe its wholesale pricing for mil/first responders

Thanks for the post.

Is it open to public?

Can one purchase items?

Is it in Las Vegas?

If not where?

How one can find out where and when it is held?

Thanks.

In short...

Thanks Kai.

The good news is that, there is no chance of spending the money that I don't have on things that I really don't need.

Think of iCast as Fred Hall on steroids but nothing is on sale...

It's a window shoppers paradise. :cheers1:
