ChrisD46 reply :

A $99.00 Fluorescent Green (number after 12) bait cast & spinning rod won ICAST best of show in Orlando this week : Anyone know what the construction , action , weight , etc. that makes these new rods such a special value ?

LCG reply :

Not much info out yet, but that colour is very green but I will definitely play with one when I see them in Stock.

bigturtle reply :

best of show dont mean much. every year, there are always a few categories that the most absurd items win.

lmbfisherman reply :

Maybe the one everyone is waiting for? A NRX equivalent 100 dollar rod!?

Basically if it were not green it would of never won

thebillsman reply :

The freaking bat won best hard bait this year. Don't put too much stock into these awards. It's like the preseason rankings in college sports.

Fishing rods should be black or dark gray. All other colors are an abomination.

That green is....GROSS!

So very true. I have avoided rods I wanted to try due to them being white.

SFL BassHunter reply :

I like green, but that is a little too far with the green for me lol.

MIbassyaker reply :

(Shudder)

No thank you. I would consider a muted green or a dark green.

But I will not be fishing with anything that might be confused at a distance for a ninja-turtle Kid Caster.

I agree but I picked up a purple rod from DSG from the Lady Guide series ,that has found its way in the four rods I carry for fishing from a small jon boat . It is my prettiest rod .

dsqui reply :

I'll be honest I really like that zombie green....on my ice fishing rods and spider rigging rods lol other then that im more of a black and yellow guy go Steelers

Master Bait'r reply :

You guys need the marketing translator app.

They're are really saying "iCast Sponsor Auction winner"

Columbia Craw reply :

I'm painting the blades of my ceiling fan the same color. Same goes for boat cleats and the inside of my truck's tailgate. That is a bold statement to the fishing industry. How bout a Fresca? Hmmmmmmmmmmm? I used to wear red socks but the hummingbirds kept molesting my ankles.

I agree. A hunter green would have worked out.

benzmech reply :

I checked out these fishing rods at Icast and was not impressed at all. It felt really cheap and I think it should be sold as a ninja turtle or hulk rod/reel combo for 60 bucks. There were much better rods that should have won.

evilcatfish reply :

Bright green huh? Looks like they are just copying off the Powell Nusance. Seriously though, I kind of like the color, I'm just not a big fan of the company in question's products

fishballer06 reply :

I was amazed this rod won over the new GLoomis Conquest rod....

At least the new Curado beat out the new "bearing-less" bright orange reel they have (even though it does have a bearing in it).

hunterPRO1 reply :

are they the same as the other *** rods ? just a different color ?

beautiful black

LxVE Bassin reply :

Who votes for these awards? Colors aren't a deal breaker for me but I would be lying if I said the neon green didn't make me cringe. $100 rod with a one year warranty, I'll pass, especially with that colorway.

fishwizzard reply :

Honestly it isnt bright enough, not to match my kayak anyway.

I like super bright rod highlights, but not the full blank being colored.

What's that kayak weigh? I bet that's a blast to fish and you can carry in anywhere.

fishwizzard reply :

The yak only weighs 50lbs, but the drive and seat have to be around half that added on top. It's a fun little boat.

You hadn't missed anything. There's a white one in my armory that don't impress me much.
