And The Winner Is ... |
No gimmicks. No special effects. No fancy packaging or clever slogans. "Best of Show" at fishing's annual ICAST tradeshow is about one thing, and one thing only: the best new products on the planet.
As a manufacturer, if you create something that wins "Best of Show," you're golden. Just ask Shimano — they won Best New Hard Lure, Freshwater Reel, Saltwater Reel and Saltwater Rod.

 Freshwater Reel: Stella FE
How do you turn a good reel (Stella FD) into a great reel (Stella FE)? Well, Shimano did it by adding its new X-Ship Double Bearing Supported Pinion Gear, which increases power and gear efficiency, and gives anglers ultra-light handle rotation. It's also super smooth. |
|
 Saltwater Reel: Trinidad A
One piece framing allows for the Trinidad A to be narrower, while still keeping enough line capacity for tuna fishing, etc. It's got a brand new drag system with a wider range of settings than ever before, and it's corrosion resistant. At ICAST you could tell the Shimano boys were extra pumped about this reel. |
|
 Saltwater Rod: Terez
The Terez is a 60-pound rod that's thinner than your pinky finger. The raw pulling power of this thing is ridiculous, and it's got the new K guides from Fuji that eliminate wind knots. Not that it matters, but it looks cool, too. Comes in five colors: sunset red, fighting lady yellow, emerald green, aqua and pearl white. |
