ICAST 23

Post by Aquaftm45 » Sat Jul 08, 2023 10:32 am

I can't take all of this excitement swirling around ICAST 23...
No covid excuse this year and haven't heard any hype for enthusist level gear. Maybe we will be pleasantly surprised.

Yeah, doesn't seem to be much hype about it this year. Looks like some Poison Ultimas are coming Stateside though.

St Croix have their own reels now. Other than that, nothing popping out yet this year.

Anti-climactic is the word this year. We already know about most of what's coming. Daiwa is releasing the Steez A II stateside. New Stradic and Curado. Lews is updating the Hypermag. Not much excitement this year, imho.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Wondering where the St Croix reels are being made. Soto, Silstar etc.

Rapala apparently has some copies amongst their new soft plastics getting announced.
