Sorry about the late post guys; I got back from IFTD on Friday night and immediately turned around to go to a weekend house party in NC on Saturday morning.
Jay and I met with a number of additional companies whose products you’ll be seeing in the gear blog. I want to mention the Winston Nexus, an all-black Made-in-America Winston for $475. I liked it a lot and made a couple power casts to see where it would collapse. No bottom with this line, Captain. It had all the power I could use for max range casts.
I was also a fan of the Vedavoo company (http://vedavoo.com/), which has an awesome story to tell. I am going to try to get their owner on the podcast. I wound up using one of their coozies/talc bags at the house party and it was super nice. They make some awesome bags.
Another interesting entry came from Reel Britannia, an all-British reel company specializing in anti-reverse reels. You’ll be seeing content about these and other new manufacturers and new products in the Gear Reviews blog over the next few days and weeks.
Probably the thing I wanted hardest at the whole show was this!
They’re actually for sale! $300 dealer pricing gets you the most comfortable party float couch of all time.
Also this happened:
When Jays collide, the world stops. Seriously the guys from GeoBass took to Jay like he was one of their own. I can’t imagine what connection they saw with him. 🙂
This was also a nice surprise:
That’s a joke that goes back a long way.
Watch the Gear Blog for more! I’ve already loaded content for this week.

What an awesome couple of days. It was really cool to see the other side of the biz and have the chance to meet so many friendly, like minded people all in one place. The free beer definitely did not suck either. Sounds like there should be quite a few interesting podcast’s to come out of all the people we ran into as well.
Here’s Zach casting Scott’s new Tidal. Out of the handful of rods I tried myself, the Tidal was the most impressive.
And here’s 2 dudes riding in a pedicab on the way to the Costa after party, trying not to look like we are on a date.
