As you know the ICAST tackle show for 2006 just ended in Vegas. What amazed me was the overall best of show went to Berkley for their new fireline crystal line. WOW, a superline that is translucent. That might be a great timesaver to tie direct to jigs and lures without the hassle of wind-ons and splices. The new Penn torque won the best new reel award. Have to go now and get ready for a hopefully a great bluewater day out of Port A in the morning. Here's a link for the best of show awards. I'm going to go to ICAST next year.
