Top Five Reasons to Attend

New Product Showcase - The New Product Showcase offers exhibitors and buyers a special opportunity to debut and preview hundreds of the next season's innovations in fishing gear and accessories. Buyers and Media-editorial badge holders have the opportunity to evaluate each new product and vote for the prestigious "Best of Show" awards in 22 product categories.

View All Major Product Lines at ICAST - Want to stay ahead of the game? ICAST is the only trade show where major manufacturers display their entire product lines.

ICAST-only Specials - ICAST show specials offer buyers strong incentives to save money by striking deals at the show. In 2012, nearly a third of all ICAST exhibitors offered show specials providing high and low rollers significant product discounts.

Buyer Raffles - Each time an order is placed with an exhibitor, a buyer increases his or her odds of winning the ICAST Buyer Raffle. Buyers can win cash prizes or one lucky buyer will win the jackpot, a trip for two to Crocodile Bay Resort in Costa Rica.

Networking Opportunities - Business still revolves around face-to-face meetings. There's no place like ICAST to connect with industry leaders and build or maintain relationships with people from around the globe.
