    Anything new at the I-Cast show for us ?

    Haven't seen anything posted on new gear for the Ice fishing crowd.

    I did not see much of anything for us crazy guys.
    Maybe we need to start our own show each year like IFREEZE or IDRUNK...
    In all honesty though it would be nice if there was at least a website at the least that would talk about the new gear.

    Ice fishing just isn't known for high priced items to warrant a "trade" show. Aside from items like wheelhouses or Sno-Bears...it's a fairly minimalistic form of fishing. People still use buckets to carry their gear! Most of the innovation stems from open water fishing with slight adaptations.

    Many of the most avid, successful ice anglers won't spend the $$ that even an entry level bass angler will.

    there is a show dedicated to ice fishing every December in St Paul, Mn. I disagree with RFeyoMN, I think the trend is ice fisherman are spending more and more money. and
    also there is a tremendous amount of innovation in the ice fishing industry
