just got thro lookin thro that. lots of interesting stuff coming out!

Some of things I'm now excited for are the RES Tungsten 2 Tap, Spro RK Star 55, the new St Croix Legend Elites,and the Sunline Assassin FC,

I guess I better start saving up now. I'll be getting the new Rapala HD colors and the Spro RK Star's. 

I'd like to open hand slap whoever designed those new tatula xt rods. And quantum's lineup never ceases to amaze me A lot of gimmicky looking products there. That megabass levante has my attention though...

Kind of a Strike King fan boy. Here's the interesting things I remember off the top of my head:

-Magnum Caffeine Shad 7"

-Ochos now come in 4" 5" 6" & 7"

-Big 10" finesse worm

-Tungsten Rattle Red Eye Shad

There's others I don't remember and over 200 total items in that Bassmaster link

cant wait to see what new colors booyah will have for the one knockers. curious about that daiwa fuego as well

those lews rods with the golf grips look awesome

^Yeah, I thought so too. 

 

I've been waiting for Booyah to get into hard baits, looks like they'll be taking over the Excalibur stuff. 

 

Everything looks pretty cool!

That duo trout looks mighty tasty...

I'd really like to see a 4" elaztech stick bait made by either strike king or Zman. Both of them only have a 5".

I feel a St. Croix legend elite coming my way next year.  Very sweet rod.

I was hoping to see a Curado 50I..

I thought I as all but done with St. Croix until I saw the new legend Elite. Hopefully they offer the same lengths/actions as the Xtreme. As long as that is an ECS and not SK2 garbage, it should be a winner. I fear it may be in the NRX price range though /w those guides.

 

The "TatFuego" just screams disappointment if it's in the Tatula frame. 

 

Seaguar Flippin' Fluoro sounds really nice. Hard not to trust a line with Danny's name on it.

 

Weego Jump Starter Battery looks really cool

Well you know I would have a Lew's comment...the magnesium speed spool looks pretty baller until I really compare it to my Team Lite...it's nearly the same reel. Magnesium frame versus aluminum...5.3 oz versus 5.6. The hook holders are not anything I need. The line size indicator is not useful to me. The black/gold finish is gnarbeans as all get-out though.

Over all...as long as it's not much more than a Team Lite...it'll be worth it to me.

I really like the speed cast brakes, but I still wish they'd offer a magnesium Team Pro LFS with dual braking. Doesn't replace the adjustable centrifugal...but I'd sure own one of each.

Okay...who am I kidding...it's PIMP and super light...I want one.

New daiwa products and duo got me excited. Sunline assassin too. Probably buy a spro rat in the smaller size.

i liked the Mann’s crystal flash spinner bait, SK swinging sugar buzz and Megabass Fermata – suspending lipless crank.  And of course i liked the Wilderness ATAK but i had already seen that one.

x2 on the crystal flash spinner bait; but, I wonder how it'll perform like a metal blade..

 

The "TatFuego" just screams disappointment if it's in the Tatula frame. 

 

From the looks of the picture I am certain that it is NOT on the Tatula frame.  The lack of the TWS is even more compelling of an argument that it won't be on the Tatula frame.

Lews Tournament Pro G. Oh, yes. You will be mine!

Remember the comparison pictures of the tatula vs the new zillion on TT where the picture "looked like they were different"? I'll believe it when I see it on this one. It would be nice to have a new Daiwa reel on a non tatula frame but I'm not holding my breath on it.

The Alphas SV and the SS SV are coming over to our shores, and those are not built on the Tatula frame.

"Coming" over...as in already have been out. Fuego is brand new.

Lews Tournament Pro G. Oh, yes. You will be mine!

This intrigues me. If they keep the Team LITE, introduce the Pro G and Team Pro magnesium...then they'll have 3 reels with the same brakes, bearings, c45 side plates, capacity, line indicator, & hook keeper...the difference will be finish, knobs, and the magnesium frame on the Pro Mag.

Odd...but I'll bet the Tourney pro G well be the best bang for buck.

The Croix Legend Elite has a reel seat that is very, very good, but with the reel seat and the Torzite guides, the price I was told is going to be between $475 - $525 depending on model.
