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!

GREAT Pictures Glenn.  Thanks!

PS Do you have anything from the G Loomis Booth?


fishing user avatarGlenn reply : 

No, sorry.


fishing user avatarGlenn reply : 

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?


fishing user avatarHammer 4 reply : 

Wow!!!! some really cool stuff...like them yaks..of course all the item are nice..thanks for the pic's Glenn.. ;)


fishing user avatarvatech reply : 

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.


fishing user avatarKoop reply : 

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.


fishing user avatarMicro reply : 

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.


fishing user avatarGlenn reply : 

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.


fishing user avatarTin reply : 

I will also be buying one of those Abu rods.


fishing user avatarmrlitetackle reply :

    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.


fishing user avatarGatorbassman reply : 

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.


fishing user avatarSlateTundra reply : 

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.


fishing user avatarGlenn reply : 

The new Lowrance technology is just that - NEW.  It doesn't even compare to Humminbird.  Lowrance upped the ante, and then some.


fishing user avatarMattlures reply : 

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?


fishing user avatarMattlures reply : 

I plan on being there. We can hit a buffet!!!


fishing user avatarDan: reply : 

Glenn, 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.

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.

fishing user avatarsenile1 reply : 

Those are some intriguing rods, especially the ones from Abu Garcia.  I'm really anxious to read more about the Lowrance side imaging.

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?


fishing user avatarBainza reply : 

Everything looks so sexy but its too bad I have no money to buy any good stuff.


fishing user avatarRedlinerobert reply : 

Great show coverage guys.  ICAST is overwhelming with so much cool stuff!


fishing user avatarIvanDJ reply : 

I'm very interested in the Pro Controll gadget.  Any info where I can get one?


fishing user avatarGlenn reply : 

It's not available yet.  I am in direct contact with the company, and will post information as it becomes available.


fishing user avatarmrbassky68 reply : 

Great stuff I think the frog craze has hit full swing. ::)
