ICAST (International Convention of Allied Sportsfishing), is the premier showcase for the latest innovations in fishing gear, accessories, and apparel. It was held this past July in Orlando, FL and featured some pretty amazing new stuff. Here are some of our favorites…
Bluefin Rashguard: Made of a soft, silky, microfiber-spandex blend, this long-sleeved rash guard is stylish, machine washable, and features SPF 40+ protection.
Riptide Sun Protection Gloves: These gloves are a versatile, waterproof, all-purpose fishing glove offering SPF 50 protection, Grotech palm and fingers, and CR SmartFoam pads on the palm. Available fully fingered or with tips exposed.
Costa Rooster Sunglasses: These awesome sunglasses aren’t cheap, but worth the money! They feature an internal hinge, TR 90 nylon frame, 100% UV light blockage and 100% polarization. Available in white, black, and tortoise frame colors.
Cuda Professional Knives: Featuring titanium-bonded German 4116 Full-Tang Stainless Steel, these knives get the job done with corrosion resistance and incredible edge retention.
