Hahaha right! I couldn't help myself. I chose now over later.  $60 off the current model was too good to pass.

Quite a bit of new stuff, 3 new models in the Expride B lineup, new Poison Adrena up for pre-order, SLX XT A, looks like a new BFS Zodias 7' light, 2 new models in the Curado line

I’m gonna let @Glenn post the new Yamamoto baits that are being released at ICAST but leading up to it, they have released a couple bigger sizes of the Scope Shad and some new colors. 
 

When fishing pressure is at it's toughest and the fish have seen everything twice, we wanted to bring you something they have never seen before...

Bringing you the Stealth Color series—engineered to catch even the most pressured fish! Our advanced  formula delivers a stealthy transparent look but enough color to draw interest.  

Offered in 5 different Stealth colors: Ice Out, Blue Glimmer, Chartreuse Purple, and Pinkasagi. 

New Daiwa Kage rods (posted by The Hookup Tackle). I really, really don't need more rods....

icast new product showcase page is up

Yamamoto has introduced the 4” Fat Senko.  Funny they show it on a Ned head.  I’ve been throwing the 4” regular Senko on that head for a long, long, time. Actually, that could be a shakeyhead.
 

Gen 3 Lews Speed Spool LFS, doesn't look like any features changed but the frame appears a bit narrower now and it shed a tenth of an oz. Still $99 msrp.

"Looks" like they pushed the line guide farther away from the spool like they did with the latest BB1 Pro.

Anyone have real details on how these compare to the Tat Elite non-ags? Same blank, different etc?

Those new Kage rods look nearly identical to the jdm gen 1 Orochi XX rods.

From the Hook Up video on them they have a better blank than the elites. Nanoplus vs something else. I’d have to look it up. Since these are harder to come by I’ll have to wait for reviews.

They're offering the 5 speed in a left hand this generation, I appreciate that.

I like the looks of the "power jerkbait" rod, but there's also the new Adrena 6'10 M to consider in that length/power.

Significant price difference between the two though. Not the same ballpark.

These do look really nice, but not sure if I would get sick of all the red

AFTCO came out with a battery powered neck massager for those who fish FFS all day.

I stole this Pic and I can't say FFS was involved but I have seen it happen a few times. Guys watching the screen, turn thier trolling motor up full blast and snap or damage the shaft on a tree stump.  

 

Stump whiplash is real.

Interesting theory.  Personally,  I feel like I'm much less likely to hit a stump now that I can see them on FFS and 360.

I think inexperience is the real culprit.  Plus the lake I usually fish has a forest below the water, especially in the shallow spots.
