Trapper hooks look really interesting and so does the line welder if it works as they say it does.

the line welder doesn't actually weld the line to itself, it basically holds it together with some epoxy type stuff... It could be practical in some situations but a lot of times the fish are gonna see a chunk of plastic in front of the lure. That's just the impression I got from the classic this year when I tried one

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

I couldn't help myself and bought two packs of each instock color.  I am about to leave town for a week or so for work and am going to tear the SMs up when I get back.

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. 

The blade box and the deep diver box look awesome.  I don't think I would go for the terminal box but for the super anal it's probably perfect.

Several new canoe/kayak offerings this year from all the major brands.  We shot a bunch of videos today on all of them, and will get them posted asap.  Lots of other new products that aren't getting as much press that we'll bring to you shortly.  The new Savage Gear baits....WOW!  You're not going to believe your eyes when you see the video!

Stay tuned!

FLW just put up a post with the "Best Of" winners - http://www.flwfishing.com/tips/2016-07-14-icast-2016-new-product-showcase-awards

- The Savage Gear duck looks awesome in the water.
- Looking for a price on those St. Croix Legend Glass rods.
- Those Trapper hooks have me scratching my head, can anyone explain the theory behind that hook design?
- I've been eyeing the Old Town Predator kayak since i first came out, but was trying to figure out if a Hobie with the pedal drive would be a better option, but now the Predator has it's own pedal drive system, so that ends the debate.

I've been watching some of the product videos, and the Bass Mafia stuff really caught my eye. I'm a sucker for organization and these things look freaking awesome.

Saw a short video on "JigSkinz". Allows you to put a new cover on different baits like topwaters, jerkbaits and cranks. The video says it works with lead jigs too. Not sure I'd buy it but looks interesting.

I'm excited for the storm arashi spin to get my foot wet into spybaiting. Also going to get a pflueger president xt casting reel . The new live target swim baits look good. Also might try the new seaguar lines.

The Yo-Zuri Top Knot flouro is something I'll probably try out.  Same diameters as Seaguar/Sunline and priced right to compete with Red Label.  New colors in the Rage Bug and Menace plus the bigger size in the Rage Bug will also find their way into my boat.  Bass Mafia Blade Box probably will too.  

I'm very interested to see how the Ultrex trolling motor plays out over the next year or so too...

Cool to see that the Humminbird Helix 10 SI took "Best of" in Electronics at ICAST 2016 ~

Especially since there's a couple flush mounted in the Lund.

:)

The Bill Lewis Stutterstep looks pretty cool, I want to see how it looks in the water, if anyone knows of a video let me know. 

pretty much signed up to say this. Has anybody ever seen a topwater lure that gets its action from the tail? already pre ordered in two patterns and might have to take a shot at making my own if i can't wait until september.

Reminds me of a couple of Musky swimbaits I have that will do a 180 on a twitch to tick off a following fish enough to slam the lure.

honestly, I thought they were just unsegmented swim baits before I they explained the action in the videos. As we both know though, even if you keep one of those on the surface, there not gonna disrupt the water much. That tail moves water like a backwards popper. If you look, the shape of the sides does a lot of work too!
