My love of fishing gossip wont allow me not to start this thread....

 

Its that time of year! New baits and equipment will be coming out very soon at ICAST 2014. SOmetimes, we get some info on one thing or another. Feel free to share anything you read here! I'll go first:

 

-Abu Garcia Revo Beast: Toro-sized reel with a Revo profile that has a 7.1:1 gear ratio

-Duckett casting reels: There have been threads on this already; and we all know its coming

-Strike King: KVD Swimfish- i think this is another bladed swim jig, but it could be a trailer for a bladed swim jig. They also have some niche crankbaits coming out.

 

Anyone else want to jump in?!?!?!

-New daiwa zillion reel

-New daiwa zillion rods

-Maybe a new lew's reel

-13 Concept KP reel

-New 13 "muse" high end rods

-A new abu garcia rod in the $100 or so price point that is green if I remember correctly. Chris lane was using them at the recent tourney in Fl.

 

I have also heard deep rumblings of a dobyns rod at the $100 or so price point. I have also heard that there might be a new citica.

I'm looking forward to the new Dean Rojas Duckett rods, from what I've read he's going to have three signature rods.

Dobyns zayta!!!

Sorry had to. This rods 3 icasts behind as is.

Those are All Stars.  They are called All Star Lite's or something like that.  Academy already has them in stock.

 

I'm anxious to see the new Daiwa reels, (just like I am every year )

They have been saying that since just after the Savvy series came out. Instead they released to Coalition and since a whole lot of new rods in existing lines but nothing else

the KVD swimfish is going to be a trailer for the Chatterbaits.  I figure it will either be like the Roboworm E-Z Shad or either  a Keitech Fat IMpact.  

No body has the goods on Shimano?

I'm wanting to see the Shimano rod gossip

Let's just answer the annual question now:

 

No, it's not open to the public.  It's an industry trade show.  You have be part of the industry or in the media with credentials to gain access.

I'll bet you're right! I'd almost put money on it that its a Fat Impact ripoff. It Might work, though. I do like the Havoc Beat Shad.

Jump towards the end: are they trying to copy the wiggle wart?

Just gut feelings but I think Daiwa will introduce some new spinning reels, and the Zillion rods and reels. Shimano appears to be coming out with a new Crucial series of rods. Megabass will have some new XX models as well. I'm sure we will see several lure companies show us there version of the spybait. Powell is also updating the Max rod line, possibly some new sticks as well...according to Keith Bryan.

To be fair, not all warts did this nor did the people at storm understand what was causing it. If Megabass can make ones that search consistently, I will take a bunch! (Been waiting for them to come to the states for a while now...)

Heard rumblings that there might be a new steez replacement.  Who knows could be the new zillion as well.  Whatever it is I hope its affordable.  I love mys steez but its not worth $600

Strike King KVD 8.0: magnum size squarebill to complement the 10XD. Makes sense with the obvious trend this year in magnum crankbaits.

No one is going

Do you know anything about "some guy" introducing a new worm specifically designed for the wacky rig?

Looks like a beefier version of the Cyclone.

Care to elaborate on that?

What are you showcasing?

The stuff that Savage Gear is showing at Efftex right now I'm sure will show up some at ICAST.

 

They've got some COOOOOOL stuff coming out.

Sure hope the KVD is a copy of the Keitech.. so far the KVD knockoffs imo have been better than the originals.. and I hate payin an arma nd a leg for Keitechs.. but it says the KVD is for chatterbait trailers.. does anyone use Keitechs fro that?  I'd think it'd be overkill..

Looks like lotsa guys are gonna spend whole days not catchin nothin'

Looking forward to the new *** rods.

 I'll be at ICAST this year, I'm pumped.  

 

Looking forward to the *** "trick shop" parts, as well as the KP line.
