It is a dealer only show so unless some of the sponsors go or a guy has a special pass or something I would not think many custom rod builders would be there.

Good Morning John,

Foundation Outdoor Group and Mud Hole Advantage will be at the show, Booths 4030 and 4230 (next to the lure tank). We'd love to see you there. The showroom in Oviedo will also be open for visits while you're in town.

We are hosting a Social Hour on Thursday and it would be great to have every rod builder in attendance!

Thank you,
Rob Frichette

Hey John,

I will be at the show for the on-the-water event on Tuesday and Thursday. Come by the booth and say hello to Rob and I.

Mike, you are correct in that ICAST is an industry-only show. If you have your business registered and can show proof to ASA (American Sportfishing Association) then you can attend as a "custom tackle retailer". That is the category most rod builders would fall into that have legitimate businesses. You would be surprised how many builders do attend the show.
