ICAST 2027
About ICAST
A sportfishing trade show, bringing together manufacturers, dealers, and retailers to showcase the latest in fishing gear and accessories.
ICAST 2027
ICAST 2027 runs 13–16 July 2027 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida.
ICAST — the International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades — is the fishing tackle industry's trade show, run by the American Sportfishing Association. Exhibitors, retail buyers and media converge on the New Product Showcase, seminars and industry networking.
The New Product Showcase awards are the industry's launch stage: what wins at ICAST in July is what fills tackle shops the following spring.
