When do Icast stuff usually hit the market?

[Ralph Nicholas Vito]

I know that some stuff probably goes out the day of idk some of the stuff definitely peaked my interest it's just not out yet

 

anyone know when they usually go on sale? like a general guess? obviously everything is different but just thought i'd ask

If possible for Christmas.

 

Otherwise, as fast as the manufacturers can get the orders processed, which could take us into January or February.

 

Depends also on the size of the order. Wal Mart, Cabela's, BPS, Tackle Warehouse, and Academy have large orders that the manufacturers will fill first to keep the outlets happy.

 

Smaller tackle shops and outlets may have to wait longer to receive the merchandise.

 

I know it can drive you crazy but anticipation is a part of bass fishing, even off the water.

It varies wildly. Some stuff will come out before ICAST even, some stuff won't come out until late winter, just depends on the company and the demand.

This^. In years past, trade shows were THE place where products were introduced or showcased, and orders, often at real discounts were taken or closed. Nowadays it's more just one part of marketing and networking. Keep in mind that every company with a booth (or booth$) has a different perspective on the reason they are there and the ROI they are looking for.

Most stuff is out by December but like @Sam said it could take as long as the beginning of next year.
