ICAST 2012

I'll be throwing up some video (sorry for the quality) of some of the "Kayak" related items I found at this years American Sportfishing Association ICAST show held in Orlando this week.
It was my first time going and after three days I still didn’t get to talk with all the vendors there. I left the show with an observation:
1) Some of the bigger companies, Okuma, Seagar, Shimano, could have cared less that we walked into their booth. I will be forwarding emails to the PR departments next week. On the other hand, one company, Wright & McGill did listen to such an observation and couldn’t have been more accommodating. (We stood in their booth for ten minutes while all the reps, at least ten of them, just stood around bs'ing. I let them know on their Facebook page and went back the next day. I had everyone, including Blair Wiggins answering my questions)
Here is the first item from Overboard rods. Located in Jacksonville. Owner is Sean Abbey. Price range is $109.00 I have one of these rods and will give a full review in the coming weeks.
