    There are two things I'm over the moon about. 1- anything Z Man is releasing 2- the FeelFree pedal/troll/coast module that you can use with any of their pass-thru console boats.  That's a GA

  • This graph is bigger than my desktop computer monitor...yes, that's a 24 inch graph. Just read they are 12k a piece. Wonder if they will have to repitch their prop after losing top end speed due

  • Welppp...now we just need it to be able to stream live tv and we can all turn our mortgages in and live on our boats. No reason to go home.

2- the FeelFree pedal/troll/coast module that you can use with any of their pass-thru console boats.  That's a GAME CHANGER for me!  

Popping perch is interesting. Hopefully it's Sexy Frog price and not Livetarget price. The pike are hungry for my wallet.

To me, iCast really isn't that that exciting. It's a very important part of the fishing industry, and it brings a lot of exposure and everything. But an icast best of show really doesn't mean much to me. The things I listed caught my eye in one way, shape, or form, but I don't really see anything that mind blowing.

I'm pretty dang sure the Savage Rat or Duck will get the best of show this year, the duck being the most different thing I see being offered so far.

I like the new Ned Rig stuff, always fun to experiment.

I've been looking forward to the Strike King Popping Perch for at least a year since I first read about it.

The Yamamato Zako swimbait looks pretty cool for a trailer.

Considering how good of a company they are and the value of the spinning version, the Pfleuger President baitcast reel just might prove to be the best $80 reel on the market.

Wonder if they will have to repitch their prop after losing top end speed due to wind resistance...

How may need to increase boat accident/ collision insurance.

I heard that tackle warehouse is going to have a promotion going on the new Tubez right after I-cast!

No kidding. For that kind of money just get the needed glasses if you can't read numbers on small screens. Anything beyond 10-12 inches would be overkill IMO. What are people trying to do? Display their graph info so everyone on that lake can see it.

My buddy runs dual 10 inch screens on his Ranger. I can read the graph up front from the back of the boat during low light periods. He also has 5 locators on that boat which IMO is overkill, but hey, if you can, than why notB)

I wasn't interested in that bait until I watched the video. Add another one to the list of baits I'll be trying. 

Strike King downsized the Bullworm. I may be in the minority but that 10" one is humongous. I will like the 8" better.

8" is still huge!

I think these were made for commercial fishing boats. I've seen one that big on a tuna boat. The captain can see it all the way from the stern.

Disappointed in another split grip GLX...

Looks like the MBR series rods will be full grip. I stand corrected.

Seems to be aimed at the off shore crowd, where this isn't much compared to the boat. The large screen would be useful to show radar (other boats and weather), nav, sonar, and gauges/auto Pilate at the same time.

bass mafia blade box. that is one awesome spinnerbait/buzzbait box. The new terminal box looks over the top. The standard coffin is great as is and probably holds more.
