Hello friends,
Here’s a look at the latest new products which won awards at the annual ICAST show(Trade Show for Fishing Tackle). Each year we attend the show to stay informed on the latest news, trends and equipment in the fishing industry. Although the show tends to be 75% related to freshwater fishing, its still interesting to see all the latest tackle in the industry. You’ll see most of the new tackle start to hit the shelves this fall and early 2018.
