I see some must haves for me!!!!!!

The KV 1.5 shallow looks good. The rage winnow looks like a slimmer LFT magic shad. should be interesting. 

I have been wanting a shallow KVD squarebill for a while now, looks like the wait is (almost) over. I'll buy an 8.0.......but like the 10xd's it'll probably collect dust in my tackle box.. I wonder if Berkley is going to have anything new in the Havoc line?  I didn't see anything in the bassmaster sneak peek, I know the money maker is new, but it's out there and available now , at least directly from Berkley.

I hope the Shallow Shad Raps get the custom ink treatment as well. I could also go for some more Subwoofer colors.

I wonder if Lews will be adding any more reels to the already extensive line up. Maybe a magnesium reel, or a new TP size reel with the BB1 Pro braking system.....

Some of the new 13 rods will have Fuji Torzite guides and the brand spanking new Fuji TVS spinning rod reel seat (blank through design!), and the new PTS casting reel seat which looks fantastic!!

Thanks for the link... That's going to make for a nice rod... 13 will put those on a new blank, maybe?

I just received this from Daiwa 

Edit:  email subject titled "Come see Daiwa’s latest new products at Booth 1677"

You're going to get bombarded with emails and press releases from ICAST exhibitors, if you haven't already.

is there a tatula spinning reel in their somewhere?  

TW has their day 1 videos up.  I know what I'm doing for the next hour or so.
