ICAST convention next week

ICAST is a manufacturer/retailer only meeting, where
the new recreational fishing equipment is brought out.
The manufacturers try to convince the Bass Pro Shops
and Cabelas of the world that this new
lure\line\reel\rod\rain gear\etc... will be a big
seller. There is a page with some links to manufacturer
web sites. The manufactures bring out the fishing pros
that they sponsor for important meetings and
demonstrations. Being in Vegas is also a perk. You
sometimes see a small outfit at a tiny booth being
totally overlooked while everyone is heading to the
enormous Rapala or Pure Fishing display. You know the
guy in the small booth sunk every last dime he had into
a product that will never be picked up by a retailer.
Take a look at the Web site. About a month after the
convention some web sites will have reviews of the new
products that were shown at the show.
