I fished all four models ahead of ICAST and they were exceptionally light, crisp, and sensitive. Some notable features include a carbon monocoque grip, which Shimano says transfers bites better to your hands. The grip\u2019s butt section is flat on top for resting on your forearm, which is comfortable and adds a second point of contact for feeling bites. The spinning rods feature new, proprietary guides. <\/p>\n<p>There are two casting models available: a 6-foot, 10-inch medium and 7-foot medium heavy. The 6-foot, 10-inch rod is going to be a fantastic jerkbait rod. The medium heavy is going to be a versatile rod\u2014I fished it with chatterbaits and plastics. Here\u2019s the bad news. These rods cost $880 and there will only be about 1,000 initially available. If you are the type of angler that loves high-end JDM tackle, I recommend pre-ordering one from your favorite Shimano dealer. \u2014S.E.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Next<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outdoorlife.com\/gear\/best-bass-fishing-rods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Bass Fishing Rods<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"ProductCardSimple\" data-id=\"ProductCardSimple\">\n<div class=\"ProductCardSimple-image\">\n                          <a href=\"https:\/\/kastking.com\/products\/kastking-ireel-one-ifc-smart-fishing-reel\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.outdoorlife.com\/uploads\/2023\/07\/14\/kastking.jpg?auto=webp&amp;width=800&amp;crop=16:10,offset-x50\" data-image=\"https:\/\/www.outdoorlife.com\/uploads\/2023\/07\/14\/kastking.jpg?auto=webp&amp;width=800&amp;crop=16:10,offset-x50\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"auto\" alt=\"Fishing Gear photo\"\/><br \/>\n                      <\/figure>\n<p>                  <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Key Features<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gear Ration: 7.2:1<\/li>\n<li>Right or left retrieve <\/li>\n<li>Price: $350<\/li>\n<li>Available: Pre-order available now; arrival expected fall 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Technology creeped and then steam rolled its way into fishing.

The KastKing iReel One sends data like cast distance, number of casts, and retrieval speed to an app on your phone. It will also pair with KastKing\u2019s upcoming Bluetooth sunglasses that have a speaker in the frame that announces your casting stats. The reel also utilizes a digital control breaking system, which reduces the need for thumbing your spool. <em>\u2014S.E.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outdoorlife.com\/gear\/best-electric-bikes-for-hunting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">E-bikes<\/a> have exploded in popularity for their ability to assist with tough climbs or to motor you along without peddling at all.
