There's been a ton of action in our local waters, limits of white seabass, tons of yellowtail and now local bluefin off of Dana Point along with the big boys down south. It looks to like the best fishing we've had all year long no matter what you're trying to catch.
ICAST has just wrapped up and so far it looks like another conservative year for the industry, there's a few notable exceptions but besides that there wasn't much that was unexpected or new and exciting. Okuma has released their limited edition color for this year, Mahi, and we'll be getting those as soon as they are available. Dominion Rods came out with a cool concept, kite and deep drop rods with an integrated battery pack in the butt so you can plug your reels directly into the rod instead of a separate battery. BKK has a cool tackle tray that has slots for dozens of different hook sizes all neatly packed in smaller boxes and labeled, we hope to see this concept applied to saltwater hooks not just bass. Promar/Ahi has released a stainless steel ghost shrimp pump which will be nice for our local fishing. Fuji unveiled the full line of TCH titanium/carbon fiber reel seats which is great for custom rod builders. Besides that you'll find some products I found more interesting below.
