Ok folks, here's some of the stuff we found and focused on, based on your suggestions:
Here's the new Stradic
And here's the new Shimano Core:
Here's the new Sebile SOFT PLASTIC lure!
Here's the new Steez rod
This is new rod Abu-Garcia Vendetta rod:
This is new rod called the Sledge Hammer:
This is cool - rods with camo patterns called Camo Stix:
Here's a sampling of new kayaks hitting the market:
There's more to come! Enjoy!
Here's a new rod from Abu-Garcia that's still in prototype form. It won't be ready until 2012. There's not much we're allowed to say about it, but it's really awesome!
We spotted Randy Howell sporting these spiffy shoes:
GREAT Pictures Glenn. Thanks!
PS Do you have anything from the G Loomis Booth?
No, sorry.
Here's something that we thought was really interesting. It's a system that converts your hand-controlled trolling motor to a foot-controlled trolling motor. It's great for car-toppers. Pretty clever idea. It's called Pro Controll.
Whats the word on the Lowrance Side Imaging units? I heard they were there, did you get to see them?
Wow!!!! some really cool stuff...like them yaks..of course all the item are nice..thanks for the pic's Glenn..
Great pics, thanks Glenn. TT claims the Abu rod debuts mid 2010 in time for the BM Classic, this info conflicts with what's posted here.
Every time I see the Vendetta it jumps out at me, how did it feel Glenn?
Those yacks are very cool, and the hand trolling to foot trolling converter is genius.
Best photo post on the web!!!!! Thanks Glenn!
That Premier on that new Abu rod is amazing looking. 2012, huh? Maybe I can afford to buy a few by then. Maybe they'll ighten it up by making the thread section a bit shorter.
I almost forgot about the new SPRO King Daddy frog!

The new Abu rods do come out in 2010 (the red ones) but it's not the rod that we got the sneak peak at. The gold one was pull out of a box from behind the counter. We talked to the guy who designed it and he gave us strict instructions on what we could show and say about it. It is an awesome rod with new innovations. I can't wait till they finish tweaking it.

I got to play with one a couple weeks ago.
The new Lowrance systems with the Side Imaging is the real deal. I'm going back to Lowrance.
I will also be buying one of those Abu rods.
that new stradic looks amazing!!!
can you give any words on new features for it / upgrades, as compared to the current version??
maybe msrp if possible??

Hey Tin, do you know when they are going to start selling them? I have got the HDS-7 Lowrance and I want to upgrade to the side imagining soon.
They said Oct or Nov I think.
They are awesome. They are calling it "Structure Scan". Just wait till you see the new "Down Scan" feature. It is a whole new way of looking directly under the boat.
The Stradic looks sweet...Lowrance with side imaging sounds very interesting as well.
I got the Humminbird SI...I wonder how well the Lowrance version is going to be?

....thanx,
i definitely missed that one.
The new Lowrance technology is just that - NEW. It doesn't even compare to Humminbird. Lowrance upped the ante, and then some.
Thanks for all the updates Glenn. Your doing a great job!! Can you show some of the new reels by Okuma and Quantum. Are there any 300 sized low pro reels?
I plan on being there. We can hit a buffet!!!
Glenn, who makes the Sledgehammer rod? Was there an MSRP? How'd it feel?
QuoteGlenn, who makes the Sledgehammer rod? Was there an MSRP? How'd it feel?
I thought that was a nice looking rod myself from the photos.
QuoteGlenn, who makes the Sledgehammer rod? Was there an MSRP? How'd it feel?
It's made by a company called Alpha Tackles in Italy(http://www.alphatackles.eu/frame.html). The rod line is called "Jacko". It was comfortable and lightweight. Seemed really sensitive. They claim it's made with "Japaneese Engineering". No MSRP was listed.

awesome, thank you, sir. I saw a picture of it but haven't been able to find any info whatsoever...
man im going to go broke with all that cool stuff!
Those are some intriguing rods, especially the ones from Abu Garcia. I'm really anxious to read more about the Lowrance side imaging.
QuoteI almost forgot about the new SPRO King Daddy frog!
Man what a nice hand holding those Spro's :, everytime I saw Glenn and Gene they were hard at work. Thanks guys for working hard and dedicating your time to put the info. that forum members crave!
I actually met the Bait Monkey at the Rosen Centre bar the last night I was there. He paid for my tab so I can buy some more fishing stuff. Gene/Glenn did you get a chance to meet him?
Everything looks so sexy but its too bad I have no money to buy any good stuff.
Great show coverage guys. ICAST is overwhelming with so much cool stuff!
I'm very interested in the Pro Controll gadget. Any info where I can get one?
It's not available yet. I am in direct contact with the company, and will post information as it becomes available.
Great stuff I think the frog craze has hit full swing. :
Found the ProControll's website.
procontroll. com
Will be available in November
