Best of Show Award Winners - ICAST 2024 New Product Showcase

[@jeffcroppereastside9943]

I can’t help but to say bass fishing in this getting popular and the prices keep going upTo Fish

[@joepworther2284]

So great, to see Bill Siemantel again !!!

[@jeanboydston1665]

I’m so excited to see some of these products

[@JamesBondDZero7Mi6]

Gee, I guess Matt Stefan & Jonny Schultz should have patented the Core Tackle Hover Rig. Do-It Molds just take their design and run with it and they get the award at ICAST? ICAST should be ashamed of this type of theft. How does this promote a small bait designer to come up with ideas when bigger corporations steal designs? I thought China was bad at this but we have it here in the USA too. I'll keep buying baits from Core Tackle and I hope others do as well. Supporting small businesses is vital for promoting new ideas.

[@alilo-da9153]

Lmao I just watched that segmento, did you notice how when the Do-It guy started talking about how 'you don't necessarily need FFS to take advantage of this technique' the TW guy IMMEDIATELY had a face like 'WHOA THATS NOT ON SCRIPT why is he saying that?? No! Stop! We MUST tell everyone they NEED FFS and ALL the FFS specific gear otherwise you WILL NOT CATCH FEESH!!!!' rewatch that segment I promise you'll see it and get a kick out of it 😂😂😂

[@JB-gt5no]

New vanford already??? Damn. I got 3 since 2022

[@timleng4404]

I can’t believe your line roller did not go bad. Dammm

[@wesLB55]

The guy covering the mannequins eyes is hilarious 🤣

[@Cmcfishingfactorie]

Hey Geoff you looked conflicted rating this bait, I'd suggest an Orion to keep the mind un corrupted 🎉 Great review ❤

[@RADcustoms1973]

I can't wait to get that kastking net!

[@TackleWarehouse]

🙌🙌🙌

[@alilo-da9153]

Price went up about 20-25 bucks post this win 😂 just for that I'm not buying it

[@wingnutbert9685]

PTFE coated hooks, "to make them slippery"............. Did I here that correctly???? Really????

[@R-angler]

Matt at aftco could use some of their own apparel!

[@alilo-da9153]

I cant even tell you how much it sucks that i eagerly got into fishing this year as a 28 year old and literally EVERYTHING new in the industry is being focused on this FFS bs. Dawg i cant even afford my rent sometimes how tf am i gonna afford a vessel AND thousands of electronics AND all the high priced special tackle??? The greed is insanely over powering. Oh and guess what, i throw techniques they say you should ONLY throw on a spinning reel, on a baitcaster bc thats all i have. 😮😮😮 did i sin?

[@colinmcgahee6105]

Don’t even pay attention to the FFS stuff. If you’re fishing for fun it’s unnecessary. Assuming you’re new and learning, Tactical Bassin on KZbin is very informative, def have to sift through and pick what you can apply to being stuck on the bank. That’s with most anyone though. Look through their channel they do have some bank fishing specific episodes. Anyway be patient, keep learning, and try not to sink too much money into a technique until you’ve figured out it’s one that works for you and you actually enjoy using that technique.

[@LevelArtist]

Drinking game- take shot every time someone says forward facing sonar. You’ll be gone in 10mins or less. 😂

[@wingnutbert9685]

Yeah, no schit eh. Must be the latest addition to the fisherman's dictionary of mystical nonsense. Women have cosmetic industry voodoo. Men have fishing industry voodoo.

[@robertavila4810]

Ffs tackle wins all the awards go figure😂😂😂😂

[@TheHuntingButcher]

The giant lure isn’t on your website

[@TackleWarehouse]

We are hoping to get them by the end of the year! Stay tuned!

[@TheHuntingButcher]

@@TackleWarehouse Perfect just in time to have Santa deliver me one! Lol thanks!

[@CrazyCranker]

I'm shocked the KastKing IReel2 didn't win best new reel. It must be fixed-lol

[@egomaniac247]

gimmick

[@rkw221]

​@egomaniac247 I believe that is sarcasm Sheldon

[@Iuman]

I cant help but feel like bass fishing is getting so popular and lakes are getting so hammered that you have to buy new technologies and baits in order to catch them. In addition, it’s hard to find a spot to fish due to overcrowding. Also, I am not liking private equity rolling up fishing companies in an effort to create synergies and make money in the fishing industry. It does not align with the foundational angler, and is going to ruin our sport. I have fished my entire life, over 45 year, spent significantly on bass boats and new gear. I am so discouraged that I am now giving it up.

[@Eliteeedre]

Gotta adapt 🤷‍♂️

[@iangrant9117]

Also that’s really not true buddy. A lot of fucking lakes out there without anyone fishing them..

[@cpuff7]

Bye 👋

[@louisschwarz3943]

Why get caught up only bass fishing??? There's plenty of species and opportunities out there. You wanna catch bigger fish?? You wanna fish more advanced techniques? You wanna catch harder fighting fish? You wanna catch better eating fish??? So many options out there. Catfish, walleye, pike, muskie, trout, steelhead, salmon, stripers and hybrids, panfish, etc

[@wingnutbert9685]

🤣🤣🤣🤣...... and guys fishing before you, 45 years ago, were saying the same thing about you, coming out and taking "their" spots. And you're worried about some private equity sharks coming in and eating the lunch of some giant fishing industry corporation run by billionaires? Really? Sounds about as logical as a unionized worker shopping at Walmart.

[@pnw_element9822]

If you have a reel that’s works and already and catching fish with it yeah I ain’t gonna spend 1k on a reel 😂fish on guys

[@ata1421]

The Berkeley guy was on something ? 😅😅😅😅

[@kylefishmoore]

On that China communist drugs.

[@toulee845]

aint no way the krej won lol

[@mikeschulz5070]

Jdm copy…

[@rickywebre1350]

So Shimano 2 years in a row with basically the same reel that won last year

[@bassinbilliards6279]

What do you expect after one year. Nobody else had anything better at the same price 😂

[@jimmypage279]

How are they basically the same? Both spinning reels, similar price point, yes. They fish so differently though.

[@rickywebre1350]

@@jimmypage279 is it based on a price point that it needs to stay below? I'm not sure so I'm asking. But if not I thought the Lews Custom should have taken that this year. Last year I thought the ireel was the most innovative, or hell even the Bates reels. Just thought there were better options than a spinning reel that brought things down from their higher end ones

[@Qbomb32fishing]

So do it molds stole core tackles design? Trash act.

[@Iamtherealjerkfreak]

Berkley did steal the last 6 lures they brought out….

[@JamesBondDZero7Mi6]

This is pretty low. See the comment I just put on this video. ICAST should be ashamed of this.

[@michaeljordan3084]

$250 reel, yea sure

[@JMFishing]

It’s wild, these high end fishing products are insane and unaffordable to the average fisherman.
