Introduction: So just what is ICAST like? One word, madness. Over the
course of three days we probably get a total of six to eight hours of sleep and
its probably close to that for a lot of the Manufacturers and Pros, add a little
Vegas into the equation and again.... madness. But there is a method to this
madness and that is to bring everyone in the industry together to write orders,
get information out to anglers and help set the tone for the coming season.
We
never get to meet with everyone we want to, there simply isn't enough time. This
year we met with over 50 manufacturers trying to cover the most exciting product
and inevitably there was someone and something we missed we would have liked to
cover. We take a quick break from our ongoing report from the show to show a
couple behind the scenes images from the event.
ICAST is a great place to
catch up with the Pros and get their take on the season and the baits and
techniques that they employed throughout the year
