It's almost 112 degrees is Las Vegas this week. So why on Earth am I here? Because I will face hurricanes and lightning, blizzards and hellish heat to attend the annual ICAST trade show. This is where all the tackle manufacturers unveil their latest wares for the up-coming year. When I'm on the show floor I drool a lot. I find myself awestruck by the innovation and smart designs coming out these days. I also scratch my head at certain booths, completely boggled by the ridiculousness of what I'm seeing. But it's all here, from lures to accessories, rod and reels, apparel to terminal gear. These are some of the most innovative, unique, and downright bizarre things coming to tackle shops near you. Let me know what you think. - Joe Cermele

I'm with you Cermele; I'm really diggin the bikini babe lures.
Rated lures: One piece, +5...denim suit, +6...white bikini, +10!
The next step with these swimsuit lures is have them articulated, you know hinged...this way the angler AND the fish get the "life-like action!"
good stuff, I'm glad to see the gulp! crickets.
#3 is totally awesome. my top picks are: 3,5,7,11,12,and 20. And for the record the nascar rods should go right next to the barbie rods in the wal-mart toy department.
I wear camo fishin all the time, I'd wear it w/fish on it too, but not for $90. That EZ cast Shakespeare looks like it's worth a try.
im with countitandone
i really like the tire flip flops, its nice to see trash turned into something useful
Any chance of getting a snapshot of the new Minn Kota shallow water anchoring system and Koppers frog?
The Shakespeare EZ Cast would be a great first reel for the kids.
I want one of these "DUCKETT" rods.
#37 is a great idea, might help get more people interested in tying their own flies, since it's cheaper them having buy all the stuff seperate
i want those bikini lures
The Shakespeare EZ Cast Looks like a reel that would help to get more people baitcasting if it will work without too much instruction.
Those Superfly fly tying kits are simply brilliant.
liking the look of the clackin minnow
the shakespeare EZ cast now that would get alot more people using baitcasters
The River2Sea Dahlberg Diver Frog looks very cool but it is tough for kids to fish with $12 lures - so many get lost.

I like thoose Reaction strike home wreckers, and I can see lots of themm in my tackle box and on my wall, plus if fish think like men i'll be catchin tones of fish this year.
Sorry to any women girlsor ladies I may have offended.
just what we needed, another $700 fly rod. thanks Loomis.
I can't get over the implication that fishermen are inherently wealthy and will jump at the chance of spending ridiculous amounts of $$ on, for example, a lure that they may well lose on the first cast.
And a solar-powered crank bait?
Get real, guys!
I'll take my knife over number 17 any day.
I gotta try those backstabber lures
I cant wate to use some of this stuff.
I love the gear grabber!
Thumbs up on the FISH FENDERS!
Can't wait to buy the HOME WRECKER TUBE BAITS to break out in front of all the boys when were ice fishing!
The FLY TYING KITS are a Fantastic idea!
Very Nice!
Those frogs in the pics look awesome. I don't know why that Shakespeare bait-caster is up there though. I never had very good luck with the Shakespeare bait-casters, there spinning gear works OK. Yeah got to get some bikini lures.

All that crap is 2 hightech for me, Im still going to use a Yum Dinger and a Black and silver rapala
This is great new lures.. What kind of bass mostly hit them the hardest though?
All was good till i got to the WAY over priced G-Loomis rods. $475 are they insane? I can say this because i have had several of G-Loomis rods and they are no better than a $70 All-Star or any other for that matter. No i didn't buy the ones i had they was given to me. But hey if you want to waist money thinking a 400 dollar rod will catch more fish than a 40 dollar rod go ahead when you catch a fish on the 400 dollar stick ask it and see if it knows the differance.
I am lery of using this lure with the fact that if they can snap together wats keeping them from coming apart on the retrieve.
Slide 35
very cool lures i liked the versa lures and th rod with a guide eye withen a guied eye
I can't wait to try out the River2Sea Dahlberg Diver Frog, Sounds like an awesome idea. Also can't wait to pick up a couple of those Shakespeare E-Z Casts for those baitcast haters like my dad and wife!!!
The Reaction Strike Home Wrecker lures are guaranteed to get strikes...I just wonder how many guys are going to be in the ER getting trebs removed from their mouths!
are we going to get any coverage from ICAST 2011?
