Super User fishballer06 Posted July 21, 2021 Super User Share Posted July 21, 2021 Lets get a thread going for all of the new products for 2021 coming out this week at iCast. What all products have caught your eye thus far? Me personally, the Curado MGL150, Rapala DT6, Megabass Sleeper Craw, and the new Missile Chunk bait all look pretty promising. The Rapala OG is now coming in a downsized version as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finessegenics Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 The Shimano World Minnow looks interesting, I heard Bernie Schultz talk about it on BTL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye21 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 There's a new Lews reel that only holds 40 yards of line. It's made specifically for pitching and skipping lures. I'm really looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye21 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Just now, NoShoes said: Interesting for the back lashers like me! Exactly! I struggle skipping with baitcasters and when it happens, the more line on the reel, the bigger the mess. It looked the the reel had a bunch of settings on the break as well. Looks really cool. Was designed by KVD and Montgomery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finessegenics Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 The Berkley Gilly just grabbed my attention too. The action looked great on video when hopping it on a Texas rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott804 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Berkley Stunna is what I mostly am excited about, especially considering it drops late this month. The Gilly looks cool too, although I am skeptical of the way they rig it with the EWG in the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Spankey Posted July 21, 2021 Super User Share Posted July 21, 2021 I like that new DT-8. That falls right in line with the DT-6 that I fish the heck out of. Hitting a bit harder with the xtra 2 feet will work out great. Quite a while before you can get one. I’ll try a few of them in my better patterns. One of the new patterns I saw I can make things happen with that also. I’ve been picking up fish on the OG Slim. Decent bait. Not sure if I’m interested in an 04 series or not. Good Rapala colors on those Slims. 4 hours ago, MN Fisher said: Two from Z-Man caught my eye Football Ned Jig and a new craw - looks like they got production rights to the Rage style Decent look.

PotatoLake Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I was absolutely intrigued by all the new JDM stuff that TW talked about today. There is some far out stuff coming out from over there. Like the dancing bone doctor, the heavy poop stick bait, the flip gill, and I learned about a new technique called hover strolling. One bad thing I’ve noticed this year, it seems like there’s even more stealing ideas from company to company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an idea isn't the subject of a legally recognized form of intellectual property protection, then copying it is fair game and certainly is not a crime. That's how technology companies work too.

lynxcat Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Zman crushed it. They have numerous innovation that I’m definitely buying. Buh bye dark sleeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The innovative companies should at least play their cards closer to the vest until the product is actually released so copiers would be much later to market (think Apple). Also, companies would do well to patent their truly innovative inventions (think Z-man and the chatterbait patents). Problem solved... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyecrazy Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I’m in the market for a couple travel rods, and these caught my eye on the Okuma icast release page. https://okumafishingusa.com/collections/2022-product-introductions/products/voyager-signature-freshwater-rods 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajschn06 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Spro Flappin Frog and DT-8 will definitely hit my box. Probably some of the new Z-Man stuff too. The limited edition Tatula SV looks awesome and I want one but won't be springing for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
