There hasn't been much out there regarding ICast 2022 with 2023 products.  What have you heard and/or what info do you have?  Please place here?  Thank you and best wishes on the water!

I saw a video not too long ago abut a new product coming out. I honestly don't remember what it was. They did say there would not be an ICAST show this year.

Well that stinks...much like an old Bass Pro Catalog...the ICast show was the online tackle drool of the next year!

Considering how attendance has dropped and vendors have pulled out of the show I wouldn’t be surprised if it folds. 
 

Watch coverage of 2019 and compare it to last year. A third of the floor was empty and most manufacturers releases their new product teasers weeks or a month in advance. 

I've been getting almost daily emails featuring new ICAST product releases. Nothing has really impressed me so far, though I am curious to see all the shapes available in the new Zman micro series of baits for panfish.

We've been in a world wide pandemic since ICAST 2019, hopefully things will pick back up this year.

Yes, there is an ICAST show this year.  Same place as always - steamy Orlando in July.

 

There's been a number of releases already:

There's been more, but I don't report on new colors or sizes of stuff that's already on the market.

 

That said, I'm used to seeing a lot more by now. So it is subdued, mainly due to supply-chain issues.  Companies don't want to launch products they're not sure they can deliver.

I don't know if it can be considered an I Cast release, but I like the Shimano World Minnow.  Looking forward to using one.

How many Best in Show ducklings, tarantulas, and bats can you debut before you get treated like the kid crying wolf. 

Do-it sent me a teaser e-mail the other day. They're introducing a new soft bait mold called the Katana Craw. Based on the e-mail pics, I believe I'll be ordering a mold if it's offered in a 3.5" or smaller size. Looks like a dandy piece of smallmouth candy.

I wonder if the mythical Power Pole trolling motor will be unveiled? There have been some pictures of this unicorn floating around. 

Penn has a new spinning reel out called the Authority that I'm pretty jazzed about. Rumor is Daiwa will be releasing a 500 sized Lexa TW which means I'll finally have a worthy reel for my XH Legend Trek. ?

The Authority is already on the some markets outside the US I think.  It a heavy water proof reel.  It almost looks like they just took the slammer design and made some small changes to it.  I thought they would have used SS for the main/pinion but I'm pretty sure I heard it was bronze/brass.

Berkley has a bunch of new baits.  Including a chatterbait.

Better sealed than the Slammer. It's replacing the Torque in their lineup.

Ark has a new baitcast reel they are going to reveal at icast. Looks interesting

 Part of me wants brands to branch out into new stuff, but if this is another doyo built reel I’ll pass. 

I'll be there and will share if I see anything cool. So far all the daily teasers have been ....eh.

I'm seeing more of these stumps for grips on rods.  Are they meant just for angler that palm the reel when casting?  A normal cast would have you holding the blank.
