    Seemed pretty uneventful this year. HB and their "target lock" seemed to be the biggest thing even though they announced it ahead of time. The rest was bait companies trying to reinvent the wheel and claiming it's the best.

    I liked the new net Frabil makes that has a scale built into it. I wonder if it can be digitally tracked to keep up with weights.

    There's always some cool new products, but after speaking to several people who attended it doesn't sound like there were many "game-changers" there and too many companies just knocking off the other guy's stuff.

    I don’t blame them for attempting to break into the ultra high end market. Shimano and diawa literally can’t keep their high end stuff in stock, some market share to gain there for them.

    You mean the new googan magdraft wasn't a game changer?

    Was surprised at how many new lithium battery companies popped up, must have been 15 different brands I had never heard of.

    Bobs had a bunch of new products, we just released our race series in 4 & 8". We have a new 40-115hp tilt and trim. We have our new stainless steel louvers. Also not new at show, but still new products, showed our NMEA 2000 link and our transducer mounts.

    But the big product from us was the 1 to 2, "Splitter Jac" for that 26' bay boat that have transoms for 1 engine but people want to put twins on. If boat has 1 x 300, and they want to change to 2 x 150s (of course there will be some people going to twin 300s LOL) but should follow the boats recommended HP.

    Made me curious that strike king put rattles in their rage craw now. Wonder if that was what they wanted for googan using to rage flange on its baits

    I don't think Terkla is owner. House of Outdoors acquired the Googan brand then Rise Run Capital acquired House of Outdoors.
