My source says mostly larger stuff. New ocea rods, new sustain. New exsence feels amazing, and all black is very nice. I'd have more info but heard more about Troy casser-daly and Kasey chambers than new gear

Some nice stuff! Some of the river2sea chasebaits are very cool...I like the look of the tadpoles. I've always thought a tadpole lure would work wonders in the small creeks up north. Megabass are doing some funky things...the 'vatalion'? Floating, jointed, and vibrating...I likey. The long jointed eel looks very cool too, and the finish on some of those swimbaits is pretty insane.

When is someone going to make a hardbody, jointed bass yabby (i.e. along the lines of the cranka crab)? Imagine...floating arms, jointed tail...could be huge!

Some really nice rods there.
