Newly Introduced Fishing Gear for This Season and Beyond

Each and every season, the new fishing gear that rolls out seems to get more and more endless. The levels of new fishing rods, fishing kayaks, moisture-wicking apparel, waders, pliers, and anything angling-centric have reached new heights.

We would typically spend a portion of our early summer attending ICAST, the biggest fishing trade show there is, but the year 2020 had other plans. The conference went virtual, and we got some inside scoops on a lot of new stuff, including info on new products from Abu Garcia, Berkley, AFTCO, PENN, and Smith, just to name a few.

Whether you're in the market for a new baitcasting or spinning reel, dying to get your hands on the latest fishing tackle, or shopping around for a trolling motor, the selection of gear specifically for anglers has never been so vast.

We highlight a next generation hoody, some new carbon fiber rods, a co-polymer fluorocarbon fishing line, and even a unique kind of sun protection you probably haven't seen before.

This just scratches the surface of all the new fishing gear that hits shelves soon, so sit back and pick your favorites, and be sure to read more in the fishing section of WideOpenSpaces.com.
