American Sportfishing Association held its 2020 ICAST show with 434 new products entered by more than 180 companies.
American Sportfishing Association held its first “virtual” ICAST show in July. Despite not having the face-to-face interaction everyone enjoyed at the Orlando shows over the years, participation was strong, with 434 new products entered by more than 180 companies.
Best of Show went to Johnson Outdoors Watercraft for their Old Town Sportsman Autopilot.
“Johnson Outdoors Watercraft has a proud legacy of finding innovative ways to help people enjoy fishing and the great outdoors,” said Alex Sherbinow, Johnson Outdoors Watercraft Marketing Manager. “The Sportsman Line and the Autopilot are the culmination of countless hours of hard work from our Watercraft team. We are honored to have this hard work recognized by our peers.”
ICAST, in its 63rd year, is produced by the American Sportfishing Association (ASA), the trade organization of the sportfishing industry. To learn more about any of these new products, visit ICAST 2020 Online New Product Showcase.
