The big show where the fishing tackle industry descends upon Orlando, Florida to showcase their latest efforts in coming up with new products designed to help you catch more fish. Maybe it’s just a new paint job and a new name. Who cares! I’m like a kid in a candy store for an entire week. The show is so big that it takes 3-4 days to get through. Thousands of booths and even more new lures and baits for me to check out. The plan is simple... I want to introduce you the best brands in the business. educate you about new baits on Fishhound and then put them into your hands via Lucky Tackle Box. LiveTarget graces the cover this month. It was an easy choice. They’ve pretty much owned ICaST the past few years with their innovative designs. So I’m eager to see what they’re unveiling at the show. The quality of the product that they put out is truly amazing and if you’ve never thrown one before, I suggest you give one a try. Splurge. Yes I mean splurge. They’re not cheap but neither is quality craftsmanship and fishing on an entirely new level. Take a trip to Tackle Warehouse, use the $5 gift card we gave you and purchase a LiveTarget lure. I promise you’ll be hooked and it’ll become a personal favorite. While you’re at it make sure to post pics of the fish you catch with the great baits we sent you. Use #LTB or #Fishhound. We’ll repost your pics and make you a star! as always be safe out on the water. Cheers. Editor in Chief FHM
