2006 ISE Show - San Mateo |
The ISE celebrates its 30 year anniversary in style by showcasing new tackle
in San Mateo, CA (continued)
 Scientific
Anglers cont'd: Lets step back for a minute. The reason that SA developed
the system in the first place was
to address the number one reason gripe of fly
fisherman....the knots. By making it easy to put on leaders SA is helping
anglers that have difficulty tying knots to focus more on the actual fishing.
The original system made it easy to put on a leader but when you were done you
really had no choice but to cut off the leader as the sections could not
separate. The new LTL Reconnect system is now completely reusable, and because
it can easily be swapped out it opens the doors for other possibilities as well.
The new system allows anglers to change leader weights or even go to a sinking
tip. This essentially allows you to adapt to changing conditions quickly and
easily, which means "less time fussing and more time fishing." As a added plus
the reconnect doubles as the worlds most stealthy strike indicator. Genius.

John Stark
and John Mazurkiewicz showed us an assortment of exciting fly products now
available for the 2006 season |
Conclusion: We just weren't sure what to
expect with the ISE show so close to the Fred Hall, but the tackle manufacturers
pulled out all the stops and managed to bring out very exciting new products,
revolutionary solutions, and some killer deals. The ISE is just one of those
"can't miss" shows for any tackle junkie, and the show celebrated it's 30 year
anniversary in style, with plenty of manufacturers and countless enthusiastic
outdoor loving attendees coming out for the party.
