Too Much to Digest

It's a good thing that I don't have to provide a complete report about all the coolest new tackle on the market tonight. After a full day of roaming from booth to booth at the ICAST show and talking with engineers, PR folks and fishing pros about innovations and applications, I feel like I need a day or two to wrap my hands around it all. I saw lures that I know will be awesome producers, like Strike King's new Sexy Swimmer (pictured above) and YUM's Money Hound, which is like a Zara Spook, except it's made from super buoyant soft plastic and is made to be rigged weedless; and rods and reels that are incredibly light in the hand or innovative in their design. From fishing kayaks to waders, there's an amazing representation of products at the show, and I'm having fun taking it all in. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel better equipped to report more specifically. For now it's time to get some rest for another day on the floor.
