    You knew that was coming from some manufacturer at some point. Very cool. I like that it is wireless, I didn’t think of that. I did at one time look into a 3rd party transducer.

    Tuned Up is not at Icast. We are thinking next year.
    We have a few more things coming out now too. Stay tuned…

    Is this I cast event invitation only?

    Or is it open to the general public?

    It’s an industry tradeshow. Only stores’ buyers (i.e. Cabelas, Fleet, Gander, etc), exhibiting manufacturers, manufacturers’ reps and media are allowed.

    After seeing the video of Flx-28, wasn’t too impressed…I thought they would come out with something,well not heard of yet…They’re still far behind Marcums and Birds

    I think that Humminbird would best benefit from this technology by selling an app, but there still is a problem with it I think. This will prevent people from buying more and new fishfinders. It will be interesting to see how it pans out.

    Have you seen the LiveTarget BaitBalls?

    The things they will try and sell us. Why not just paint a lure to look like 3 fish? You think a bass or any fish can make out that it is supposed to look like 3 or more fish when it goes swimming by?

    on any other forum, your statement would start an avalanche of hate replies. I agree with you, not very innovative. Its almost like they are building flashers for people that could never fix the blinking 12:00 on their vcrs….

    but if you feel like you didnt get enough innovation from this years offering, i am offering a workaround fix to give you something new!
    First you buy this…..
    cup holder
    then you buy this…..
    night light
    then install it so the night light shines up underneath the cup holder. Now you have a drink warmer!! How’s that for innovation? (end of sarcasm now)

    I’m sure people said the same thing about an umbrella rig. Regardless if you think its a gimmic, nice to see ideas an inovations moving forward. Kudos for being original in thinking and congrats to live target for the award on best new hard bait!

    Cupholder wasn’t made to fit Marcums due to market research showing that while majority of Vex and Bird owners are beer and bourbon drinkers, most Marcum owners prefer Chablis and Cognac.

    You are right! Those things look like a joke. Who would really think that a little school of 3 bait fish would catch anything.

    Not to sidetrack but anyone know where to get some double willowleafed spinner baits, mine are getting the paint chewed off
