Tim Kelly Posted June 11, 2015 Posted June 11, 2015 SV 105 looks good to me. SV old style Zillion. What's not to like? Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted June 11, 2015 Super User Posted June 11, 2015 Dobyns threw out a teaser saying they're working on a new chatterbait rod. They didn't mention what series but I'd venture to guess Champion. I don't think we'll see it at iCast but you never know. As far as the new Fuego goes, the aesthetics may not be the prettiest but from the specs I'm thinking it's targeted at being a workhorse like the OG Zillion. Only time will tell of course, but this iCast will be better for Daiwa (in my opinion) than last year. Did they say that the Bladed jig rod would be glass or graphite? I was listening to Brett Hite talk about how he fishes them with a glass rod and it was pretty interesting. Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted June 11, 2015 BassResource.com Administrator Posted June 11, 2015 I predict several people will ask, "What is ICAST?" and several more will ask, "Is it open to the public?" "How can I get tickets?" "How do I get in?" etc. 1 Quote

It's a champ 736 CB Glass built specifically for chatterbaits It's been on the website for a couple weeks. It will be shown at Icast this year but won't be available until late August. http://dobynsrods.com/rod/736cb-glass/ 1 Quote
chelboed Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Anybody know what Lews will be coming out with??? I'm hoping for an 8.1 tournament pro. I'm seeing alot of discount Lews reels at the moment too I didn't ask for specifics, but I asked if there were going to be new casting reel options this year....they said "Absolutely." 1 Quote
bigfishbk86 Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Man, i understand icast isn't the greatest, but what's with all the negativity on here?? The new Havoc flip bait looks pretty nice, will definitely produce. I'm also 99% sure the 736 glass is not the new bladed jig rod, but i could be wrong! Quote

Justin Lucas posted a picture of it the other day. It says Chatterbaits as the intended use, but their was some other secondary uses... But I could be wrong too! Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted June 12, 2015 Super User Posted June 12, 2015 I'm also 99% sure the 736 glass is not the new bladed jig rod, but i could be wrong! It is the 736 glass It was made specifically for bladed jigs. It's already been discussed on another forum. Quote
sarcazmo Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Ask yourself this. How many truly innovative fishing lures/blanks/components etc have come out over the past decade or so? It will be more slight refinements of proven designs with high(er) price tags and flashy components designed to catch the inner bait monkey in us all. Quote
EvanT123 Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 I think you will see a genie that will answer every fisherman's 3 wishes and all will be right in the world. Quote
bmlum415 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 What ever happened to the Zayta? I remember hearing rumors about the Zayta being made 2-3 years ago but nothing was ever made/released. it was set back due to the issues with the 3M resin being bought. I've played with the zayta at an expo and all I can say is that it's an unbelievable rod Quote
Slade House Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 I predict a bunch of companies will be showing the same products, but in different colors or sizes so they can call them "new". I predict many new products will debut under much hoopla, but nobody will be able to buy them until next year. I predict ICAST will be held in Orlando....again.....and again..... and again....until at least 2020. Maybe next year they'll check for conflicting big conventions first before announcing dates. Just a thought. I predict Bobby and crew will be thrown out of their hotel for being too rowdy. I predict we won't be doing 130 ICAST videos again.....ever. HAHAHAAHAHA, exactly, Quote
Slade House Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Savage gear will be making waves this year with several new products no they won't cause they're booth is always stuck way back with the saltwater stuff. they have a demo tank , but demo tanks arent really great to have at icast Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted June 29, 2015 Super User Posted June 29, 2015 Storm has the Arashi 20 coming out, and I believe Terminator is releasing a Frog. It's a champ 736 CB Glass built specifically for chatterbaits It's been on the website for a couple weeks. It will be shown at Icast this year but won't be available until late August. http://dobynsrods.com/rod/736cb-glass/ I've been wanting to pull the trigger on a 734C, but maybe I should wait until this comes out!!! Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted June 29, 2015 Super User Posted June 29, 2015 they have a demo tank , but demo tanks arent really great to have at icast Disagree completely. I can't speak for actually being there at the show but it makes for great video. You can actually tell what the baits do. Quote
hoosierbass07 Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 LiveTarget will come out with more stupid see through lures. This time, instead of putting minnows/shad inside their see through crankbaits, they will put little models of Marilyn Monroe, Farrah Fawcett and Angelina Jolie in their crankbaits, then have Dave Mercer go to a private pond to shoot an episode of his show featuring those lures and him catching big bass and thinking they are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Livingston Lures will come out with a crankbait that plays Elvis songs and Beatles songs then shoot a commercial with Randy Howell and have him say he wouldn't have won a tournament without his Elvis and Beatles crankbait. 2 Quote
ColdSVT Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I heard something about a helix 7 from humminbird Quote
Megastink Posted July 2, 2015 Author Posted July 2, 2015 Bassmaster posted 200 pics of ICAST gear. Check it out! Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted July 2, 2015 Super User Posted July 2, 2015 I will be there- Can't say he didn't warn you Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted July 2, 2015 Super User Posted July 2, 2015 Berkley's Pitbull looks interesting. I like Berkley products, and Squarebills, so of they have colors to my liking, I will be looking to get my hands on those. Quote
