Kirk Deeter and Tim Romano from the US-based Angling Trade magazine are hosting
the New Product Showcase right inside the entrance to the show with visitors
including yours truly voting on best new products in a range of categories and
of course the coveted 'Best of Show'. We'll share the results as soon as we have
them but notable products that caught my eye were the new Hardy Fortuna and
Light reels, the Sage One rod series and a new line of fly fishing apparel
designed especially for the ladies by Redington.
