Megastink Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 It’s that time of year again!

Please add and share! 1 Quote
HeyCoach Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Also Abu Garcia, a new Ike crankbait rod and reel combo. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted June 29, 2018 Super User Posted June 29, 2018 A Zman rep told me that they are coming out with something new that he thinks I'll be all over but he said he couldn't tell me what it is. So I will have to wait and see. Quote
YoTone Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 intrested in that pip squeek. ive caught some nice fish on the popping perch. 1 Quote
Chance_Taker4 Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Daiwa is going to steal the show this year. Tatulas, Rods, hardbaits, more soft plastics partnered with Yamamoto and braided line. I'm very excited to see it all. Plus Kislter will have their new ZBone, Omega Custom tackle is revealing a new swim jig and spinnerbait. Another rumor is Shimano is dropping a $50 reel based of the Casitas as well and Daiwa will have a Chinese outsourced sub $100 reel. 1 Quote
waldo567 Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Saw these new possible products from Z-Man. Since I love all things Z-Man I am super excited. http://www.icontact-archive.com/jjiXoF3Cf8NfV-NNtAkNpWY-7ODXPWFe?w=4 http://payneoutdoors.com/z-man-introduce-slingbladez-spinnerbait-icast-2018/ 2 Quote

I've heard rumors the Shimano reel is an updated version of the "Bass Rise" and could retail as low as $44. Quote
Super User Gundog Posted June 30, 2018 Super User Posted June 30, 2018 Just speculation but I heard The Banjo Minnow is making a comeback only its going to be three times as expensive and with more banjo. ? 2 Quote

Shimano is definitely going to steal the show this year no doubt!!! Maybe diawa might might be the highlight of the show for best lower end reels.? Quote
Robert405 Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 VMC Tokyo rig looks interesting as well as the NEKO skirted wieghts 1 Quote

I'm sure they will have more but Daiwa's leaked products sound more exciting. 1 Quote

JoePhish Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Even though it is already out there I'm sure the Strike King KVD 1.5DD square bill will be chatted up at ICAST. Have some coming this week. 1 Quote

Super User J Francho Posted July 3, 2018 Super User Posted July 3, 2018 The phrase "game changer" should be eliminated from all conversation. Put it on the list with "side hustle," "crushing it," and "content." 2 Quote
tcal4404 Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 still trying to figure out how one would rig that craw on the finesse bullet jighead...slide it over the hook weight? seems like it'd tear it apart Quote
