Super User NYWayfarer Posted July 3, 2018 Super User Posted July 3, 2018 The rumor is Lew's is going to win the "best of show" category again with their new combos, both spinning and baitcasting. The combos will be called the Lew's Mach Tie Dye. They will feature Winn Grip handles and knobs that are tie dyed rainbow colors. Lew's will have a free offer of a tie-dye t-shirt with each purchase. 1 Quote

I've read that "best in show" awards at iCast are basically purchased.. not 'won'. Like the awards are mostly BS. Quote

Like the awards are mostly BS. Who's doing the buying? I'd love to know, because as a member of the media, I get to vote. And nobody has ever tried to "buy" or otherwise influence my voting. If somebody's doling out dough, I'd like to find out who so I can sign up! On a more serious note, everyone at ICAST - and in particular small business owners - are VERY proud of their products. If you talk to them, they are very passionate and obsessed about their company and its products, and truly believe what they are offering will completely change the fishing industry forever. They believe in their hearts, their stuff is the most unique and amazing products the world has ever seen....and is therefore a natural shoe-in for winning "Best of ICAST". In their eyes, there is no other reasonable outcome. When their lofty expectations aren't meant, then in their eyes, there's no other reason than a conspiracy at work. Hence the rumors of "buying" votes, or that everything is "political", yadda yadda yadda. That said, I do believe some things win when they shouldn't....mainly because there's nothing else better competing in their category. A new color of the same bait is not worthy of an ICAST award, but it happens sometimes. SMH 6 hours ago, J Francho said: The phrase "game changer" should be eliminated from all conversation. Put it on the list with "side hustle," "crushing it," and "content." LOL! Add to it "revolutionary", "amazing", and "innovative" - words liberally used in just about every ICAST press release every year. LOL! 7 Quote
PaFrogThrower9 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Excited about the new Strike King 3.25 inch Rage Swimmers. They've been teasing them on Instagram. Can't wait to get them cause I feel like the 2.75 inch are just too small. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 7, 2018 Global Moderator Posted July 7, 2018 I like the looks of that YUM Tip Toad. I love toad baits, but they seem like they've gotten so expensive and I'm not a fan of the paddle legs, seems like that could be a winner! 2 Quote

I'm a YUM fan and toad fan, and was not aware of that one. I found some YUM paddle-foot toads in a Walmart box one time and they've worked great. Wondered if YUM was experimenting with them. 1 Quote

Big game changer? http://www.daiwa.com/us/contents/reels/tatula100/index.html You read that wrong. It's called zero adjuster. It still has a CC knob adjuster but it comes pre-adjusted from the factory so all you have to do is move the brake dial on the non handle side plate to your liking. They have that feature on the Steez SV TW's. On the few I have, it comes set correctly and is actually very difficult to move so it stays in place. Quote
