Yep, as always.  Hoping they'll go back to Vegas soon, or even Houston for a change.  Orlando is getting old.

 

Just found out my fav restaurant in that area, Copper Canyons, closed last week.

 

 

 

I grew tired of Orlando at the age of 8

It's just so full of chain restaurants.  Granted Vegas has it's share too, but it also has so many world-class one-of-a-kind dining options that make a city worth visiting multiple times. 

 

Orlando?  Unless you are visiting Disney/SeaWorld/Universal, it's kinda boring after the 2nd visit.

Yeah maybe so in our eyes, but don't forget we're a bunch of folks who probably would prefer a trip to Many, LA or Alba, TX over Orlando any day.  I sense that our destination preferences might be biased and slightly out of the mainstream.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack this thread.  Carry on...

 

New tackle!  New Rods!  New gear!  ICAST!!

100% agree, I go to both for work and LV blows Orlando out of the water for restaurant choice.  

 

The “best” spot I have found in Orlando is Lee and Rick’s Oyster Bar. It is a dive for sure but it’s ambiance and prices cannot be beat. 

13 Fishing is dropping a HUGE line of plastics. Like an insane amount of them. They have some pretty unique designs too, i'm slightly impressed. 

 

 

Why don't they show the baits in real time?  The slo-mo footage will make any baits action seem dramatic.

According to FTR, Strike King is getting into the line game!!!

 

a few notes: comes with a spooling tool and prepaid postage so you can SEND YOUR OLD LINE BACK for recycling. That’s STOUT!!!

Doesn't look like they could afford a light bulb either. Style over substance with that film, you can barely see what the baits are doing as they chose dark baits against a black background with very little illumination. I know it was about mood, but really?

"Style over substance"... have you seen 13's product line? That's kind their main thing. Be flashy and visually interesting. 

You're right. No idea what their gear is actually like as I kick against the whole image over everything deal they work on. That said, the fluke (I could actually see that one) looks like it could be great on a swim jig or chatterbait.  The general theme seems to be to "Rage Menace" every category of baits. ? 

I run rods in 13s 80 dollar price range, and so far, they've been pretty decent sticks.  I can't say they're as nice as a Dobyn's, Fenwick, or St. Croix, but I've enjoyed them so far.

 

I imagine those plastics are going to be a tad out of my price range, so I'll probably remain YUM, Berkley, Big Bite faithful, but for a budget angler I've been pretty please with my 3 Chromes and I'm really looking forward to when my 7'6" MH gets here.  The medium casting, medium spinning, and medium light spinning have crushed my Daiwa Aird-X lineups sensitivity.

 

You still won't catch me with bright green rods or reels that don't say Daiwa on them, though.

Yum Baits Sneek peak! Some killer new colors coming in the 4" YUM Tube this July! From left to right: camo, natural and ghillie suit! We knew they couldn't keep a secret lol.

I just scanned through this quickly on my phone and didn't see any mention of the new trolling motors.  Maybe I missed it, or they don't want to spoil the surprise.

Didn't the weight transfer in Lucky Craft baits precede Megabass?

sick!

Any Megabass news? Waiting for them to come out with a $30 bladed jig so they can take my money!

They do have a new $60 topwater! 

You have to search on line for a picture that truly represents the "wings"!  Looks like it is mimicking a bird in the water.

Actually, Rapala preceded them with the introduction of the Long Cast Minnow.

The zillion is baaaack
