Got 4-5 small videos coming up from iCast. Not the best video quality but short and interesting information about new Ultralight products
Much appreciated! 👍👍
Yep, I'll watch your upcoming videos. Then I'll be out a bunch more money. Thank you Victor for these videos! And you forcing me to stimulate the economy! Haha!
Thanks Victor!
Happy to see first i_fish video from icast!! History in the making! Hoping bussiness propositions work out. We all benefit 🎉🎉🎊

Excited about the new Vanford! Can’t wait for you to review it. Figured you would be disappointed there 😂
Vic you are as real as they come bro😂😂😂. Love it so never stop being you. I'll be right here waiting to hear you finally say that you're a "company" because the time is near buddy. You've found your lane so keep your eyes on the road🎣🎣🎣
Dear Viktor I fished in Greece the last 3 weeks, the only ppl I met fishing at 05:00 and late at night were Bulgarians . I could see the tenacity and the love for fishing they got. Nice reviews as you are used to being us
yeah, Bulgarians do a lot of fishing tourism to greece. They will fish for anything that bites, with bones or whatever..
@@ifishcatfish exactly 😂😂👍🏼👍🏼
It really didn't look overly impressive from the other videos I've seen either, but I do like ultralight BFS fishing as well, and that finally seems to be taking off over here. That being said, it would still be with the trip! I'm glad you had some successful business meetings there!
There WAS some bfs stuff there, unlike the UL, but i dont follow anything BGS and didnt want to say somethijg stupid
Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks For the update Victor! Look g forward to your videos! Hope family enjoyed the rides!
Thank you for updating us on ICast. Sorry is was disappointing in so many areas. At least you got some business connections and hopefully something good will come of those. Looking forward to your coming videos. Have a safe trip back home.
Thank u sir! We home already!
The ultra light craze was in the 70s and 80s. Stupid braid killed that.
Hah! Never heard that before but i can see a logic in it : )
I gave up on the U.S market long ago.
Not that you need nice equiptment to catch fish. (Went swimming today, took a spool of nylon with a hook and weight and caught fish.)
But its nice to have beautiful equiptment that provides joy
The guide select pro is a nice rod. I have a 7 foot. If you are patient and look around u can get one for under 110$ . I found one locally on sale earlier this year.
good info
@@ifishcatfish Amazon has 7.6/8.0 currently for 115/112$,low inventory.
Im waiting for the Vanford FA too but I heard there is not going to be 1000 size this year but they have C2000S instead.
dont know nothing about FA
Nice cameo with the sweet water king. Acting was top notch.
Lol :) Trying not to be boring :)
Injoy your content. Waiting for more. Hahaha
Your being Victor I love it
Yes ultra light or light tackle in general is such a niche community. A lot of people are too scared to play fish they just want the picture and punt that bass back in the water. 😅
Yup!
We are going to start having UL conventions ourselves , there is money to be made for the person that figures out UL is the next big thing and thanks for the video s ..
Hi Victor i find that U L fishing gear were i live is hard to find especially smaller reels like 1000 or 2000 unless i by them on line .I like to hold them in my hand before i decide to buy them 'so i am not surprised that you didnt see many of them at i cast
i thought ultralight fishing was growing... but obviously not so much..
waiting for your vanford 2024 comments, of course a specially the feeling vs old one.
comin up
Still better than a day at work 🎣
Id agree w that
I think the daiwa exceler is an excellent reel. it's actually a legalis in a different color, but with the handle directly screwed into the body. that's why it has less wobble in the handles and costs a few dollars more... greetings :)
The legalis i reviewed had handle that screws in the body too. I have a detsiled review ofnfhat ine
@@ifishcatfish oh yeah, I forgot about that for a second. in Europe it is still legalis without screw in the body. then it's just a difference in color, in my opinion. if there are differences, they are really minimal..
@@ivanvedris9636 i have one on my table. Will open it as soon as i get achance
@@ifishcatfish cant wait ❤️
Thank you, maybe some of the fishing companies will pay attention next year
Need more to come from japan for sure
never going to happen.... its all about marketing sales there.. japan tackle show is the real fishing event
@@thatonebeone yes, thats where im thinking of goin..
I like my Okuma Ceymar OTD 1000. I wished I got a size bigger though. Mine almost looks like a 500.
I recommend trying some of the reels in my 2024 Buying guide. Very very different.
Looking forward to seeing the presso air
I figured I cast would be a let down. There is a big show in Knoxville called the fishing and boat expo every year. It too is a letdown except for the trout magnet booth. I go there every year to talk to Jeff and Roy and catch up. Trout Magnet is working to get a spinner on the market that I hotrod to fish deeper than you fish most spinners for sunfish.
i saw their new spinning rod, 8 foot and 9 foot. Dont know what it costs but... it will be a very hard sell against the $60 Presso and this okuma pro guide select, both of which come in 8'0 and are much lighter, and the first half is more flexible.
Have you ever fished a Phenix ultralight ? They’re huge on the west coast for ultralight trout micro jig and spoons
no, but i've been asked 100 times. They seem kind of expensive... at that price there is some very high quality stuff..
The voice of reason
Kastking did not bring their ultralight stuff either. Some reels but not the rods
Yes.
I also feel like in the U.S. they are going to start bring more high-end BFS gear instead of spinning. In my opinion people feel like it is easier to spend their money on high-end BFS gear over high-end spinning reels. Just because every time I see someone with a BFS setup it’s literally always in the few hundred dollar range and when I see someone with an ultralight spinning setup it’s almost always a cheap Walmart setup. I know there are many people with those high-end to medium-end ultralight spinning setups but I have yet to meet more than 5 while I am out fishing, as for high-end to medium-end bfs setups I have met way over 5 in the short time it has gained popularity and since shimano and daiwa have brought a few reels and rods. Don’t know if I explained my thoughts well, but this is what I think.
There is something like thst for sure. They actuslly already had a lit of bfs. Bfs definitely gets more attention, even tho its new
Guide select pro is beautiful! Just not sure it's worth the $150 price tag compared to the $70 daiwa presso
Um… no, it isnt
Using ultralight and especially very light tackle in saltwater is not the mainstream.
I stopped going out with guides here who would didn’t like I wasn’t using 30 pound braid. Nothing better than catching a speckled trout on JDM rods with 5 lbs line
Yes, thats what id be doin in sw
I just looked that rod up on amazon $ 112 but that is as far as I looked .
A bit more than what i hoped but i will still get it
I bet you are going to japan next year osaka fishing show to get rid of all these frustrations:)
Wife already approved but logistics will be hard
@@ifishcatfish you have a great wife, you should buy her a nice gift before you go. and never explain why you buy it :) You will figure out the logistics, I just cannot imagine how many lure and rod you will buy :)
@@wuquanchi im not interested in buying.. i can buy them from here. I am interested in selling them..
I’m seeing those Okuma rods for $100-120 online
Thats double the presso…
@@ifishcatfishso you feel like the Presso is comparable to those Okuma rods that are double the price?? That says a lot about the Presso rods
Did you find the 2024 Diwia regal spinning reels ??
I did not see a 2024 regal, but that reel has no bearing under the pinion. The cheapest u should buy is the legalis
@@ifishcatfish I was just wandering about the regal I have 4 legalis reels now 2 new version and 2 of the blue versions . and I love them all .
@@user-so4fg3pl3v its the same reel, with the bearing that supports the pinion removed.
Looking forward to it, the other icast youtubers are just pushing certain brands and it's cringey
you know... sometimes it IS cringey ! : ) I just roll my eyes every time..
Hey i fish did you happen to have a glance at the 24 Certate SW?
It was there but in size 4000.. i didnt bother
Hi Viktor, ich schreibe dir aus EU von Hungary, ich möchte dir fragen eventuell bei ausstellung Okuma Inspira Light Rock dart model war verfügbar? Hier in EU es modell natürlich mann kaufen kann aber in keinen Gescheft wo es mann persönlich in hand greifen kann. Meinen anderen frage ist zum model Daiwa presso air ags 61 l mit welchen Legalis reel hat gute balanc? Wielen dank dainen antwort. Gregor
No okuma reels for me sir
@@ifishcatfish thanks. Welchen Legalis 23 Lt modell gut ausbalanciert mit Daiwa Presso Air Ags 61l ?
@@gregor13atho25 1000 size
@@ifishcatfish thanks
Never had an interest to go to iCast. Not enough money to be made off UL gear in USA. As has been said the money is to be made off of bass gear. They will spend the money. Most UL anglers in the states want a 40 dollar setup from Walmart. Curious if you stopped by the Trout Magnet booth? They had a big presence there.
I stopped but i only talked to the young guy. He showed me their new rod. I didnt get into a discussion anout the soze of the jigs or any of that..
For them Ultralight fishing is not business in USA. Simple. USA is power fishing.
I heard some openly derogatory comments about ultralight fishing.
Lol catching 5lb bass on 30 lb braid isnt powerfishing its overkill .its always bit of a cultute shock for me as a european who caught 40 plus pound carp on 12 lb line
Maybe you should go to Japan Fishing Expo next time and believe me the exhibitor mostly JDM Tackle related will Wow you the most and MILE BETTER than that shit show iCast
I will go there one day, but these people dont speak english..
They don’t have a 1000 Vanford, wich is disappointed , I don’t understand this. I would exactly bought this size, but…. I had a shock,because Vanford is exactly this: lightweight,small size…..ultralight…wtf. Although I have two Vanquishes, I would prefer a 1000 Vanford.Maybe they don’t sell this size and just like the IPhone Mini their killed it. Shame, this madness must stop.Vanford was for me a perfect mid priced reel, and this is unacceptable, because there are good rods with not so great guides in middle price segment, and they all have smaller guides somehow,and a 1000 Vanford will fit with its weight,but now……better byy a Vanquish. At this one , Shimano is way more perverse than Daiwa
I would have loved to see the 2000. 2000 and 1000 is the same reel after all. They just dont even think about small stuff. However i disagree on ur last point. Daiwa is more disbolical than shimano.
P.S. i can bet that next year 1000 size vanford will be available in japan. Same development like last time.
@@ifishcatfish You’re right . Exchanging opinions is the best way to perfection :)
It's frustrating watching the videos of the booths and the people not knowing what they're talking about. I have called customer service and I know more about the parts and reels than their people.
even at the show its like that. I asked an american shimano service dude a question and he started listing all of the 'technologies' that the reel has, using their marketing terms. But he didn't know what oscillation worm is. Then i asked if someone from Japan was here to talk to, and they got offended.
If you're not a bass fisher ICAST will be useless to you. There are more people out there who fish bass with a 4000 size reel than a 1000 size reel. The bass industry is where the money is at so that's where all the focus will go to.
Yes. And i think u right about the 4000 vs 1000 stats :)
