2026 ICAST new products preview

Get a sneak peek of the bass fishing gear that will debut during ICAST 2026 in Orlando.

When July rolls around the bass fishing community gets focused on the annual ICAST trade show, the world’s largest and most influential of all that brings together thousands of manufacturers, buyers and media professionals. What that means to the average angler is the debut of the latest fishing tackle for the upcoming year. Take a peek at what’s coming out when the doors open July 15 at ICAST 2026 in Orlando.
Bandit Finesse Crankbaits
The Bandit BDT050 and BDT050D are 1.75-inch and 3/16-ounce finesse crankbaits are purpose-built for BFS and spinning setups, delivering the tight action, clean deflection, and pinpoint accuracy that turn tough bites into landed fish. Available in two proven profiles — square bill (BDT050) and diving lip (BDT050D). Lurenet.com
Bandit 100/200 Series Colors
The legendary Bandit crankbait lineup now comes in six new craw-inspired colors, giving anglers more options across shallow, mid‑depth, and deep‑diving scenarios with the same proven wobble and loud rattles. Lurenet.com
BOOYAH Flash Point Speed Walker
Engineered with a patent pending blade located in the chin of the lure for maximum flash as well as a perfectly engineered shad style body built for extremely fast movement. Lurenet.com
Daiwa Mr. Fortune
What makes it stand out is constant, mechanical water displacement. On a slow, steady retrieve, its bream-shaped body creates an uninterrupted, swelling V-wake along with a heavy, focused hunting action and head driving side-to-side like a hound on a scent trail. Suspended from a premium ball-bearing swivel on the front belly, an acoustic blade spins freely, intentionally beating against the durable ABS plastic hull to generate a heavy, repetitive knocking sound. Working in tandem with the acoustics, a triangular deflection lip maximizes surface displacement while acting as a physical shield that deflects off shallow wood, docks, and rocks, allowing the lure to swim through dense cover without snagging. Daiwa.us
Dirty Jigs Weekender Finesse Jig
Designed specifically to excel when a compact presentation and natural movement are key, especially for pressured fish. Built around a ball-head jig with a heavy duty 4/0 VMC hook in a moderate length hook profile that provides power for solid hooksets while maintaining the jig’s finesse characteristics. Available in eight colors. Size: 3/8-ounce. $4.49. Dirtyjigstackle.com
D STYLE Flex Roler
Highly realistic baitfish imitator designed for finesse-driven hard bait presentations. Utliizes a segmented, articulated body system that produces an exceptionally smooth rolling action with a natural side-to-side “flutter” as it swims. This design allows the bait to maintain a stable tracking line while still delivering subtle body roll and flash—closely mimicking small, panicked forage fish. It is especially effective when fish are pressured or feeding on small bait in clear water conditions. $59.49. spro.com
Ever Green Wake Magic
Designed specifically for the “dead-slow roll” tactical technique relying on a painfully slow crawl that barely fractures the surface tension to coax wary fish into committing. On the cast, internal weights shift rearward to drive the bait through heavy crosswinds – upon splashdown, they slide forward and lock onto a magnetic seat to instantly stabilize the bait. To amplify strike appeal, a custom stainless steel rear propeller spins effortlessly on the crawl, generating a subtle acoustic hiss, micro-whirlpools, and a faint bubbling wake. The internal architecture also houses dual-purpose resonance chambers containing both brass and steel beads, mixing hard metals to generate a complex, multi-frequency sound signature that bass can lock onto. An integrated, short-angle polycarbonate bill ensures the bait resists diving, running strictly from the surface down to just a few inches deep. Evergreenbaits.com
Heddon Spook Stick
Born from a long‑kept highland reservoir secret, the Heddon Spook Stick brings a proven fish‑catching design to anglers everywhere. Its slim, glass‑minnow profile and heavy tail weight launch it a mile and make it walk effortlessly. On the surface, it glides with a long, smooth stride that covers water fast and triggers strikes when other topwaters fail. Lurenet.com
Heddon Spook Stick Crawler
What makes it stand out is the compact minnow profile and inverted paddle creating an erratic, high‑energy wake that triggers explosive strikes. At under 3 inches but weighing over 3/8 oz, it casts a mile—perfect for reaching distant schoolers or picking apart grass lines and timber. Just cast and crank. The Crawler instantly hits the surface and starts its chaotic dance with any retrieve. Lurenet.com
Heddon Spin’N Image Jr. 
The new Jr. size features all the same great components as the larger model, including a molded hard‑plastic tail with a small hole for creating a bubble trail. Tough through‑wire construction, Grade‑A components, and some of the best color patterns on the market. Pack all these features into a compact 3‑inch frame and you get a topwater lure perfect for combing pond banks, working rocky creek pools, or downsizing on larger bodies of water when fishing pressure is high. Lurenet.com
Hustlin’ Hog
Built in partnership with Tater Hog Custom Lures, the Hustlin’ Hog 5″ brings the proven action of the legendary “Hustling Herring” Mini Glide Bait into a refined, ready-to-fish design. At 5″ and 7/8 ounce, it delivers a unique swimming action that stands out within its compact profile, punching above its size to trigger aggressive strikes. It performs just as well on a steady retrieve as it does with quick reel snaps, giving anglers total control over presentation. $39.99.  
Megabass DOGMAX 
Joining the legendary lure’s iconic hydromechanics is 130mm variant featuring three key elements. The Split-Center-of-Gravity Seesaw Balancer System (PAT.) moves laterally to generate powerful, torque-filled turn-in and tail-out action that creates deep water displacement. The Tandem Inertia Balancer System (PAT.) moves linearly to power ultra long-distance slides. The Water-Through Gill (PAT.) thoroughly grips and bites into the water, increasing stability while creating an enticing boil sound. Meanwhile, the internal weights create sonic waves and a hard “knocking” sound with precision impact, boldly appealing even to monsters lurking in deeper zones. Available summer 2026. $24.99. megabassusa.com

Redesigned and reinforced Scoop Bill features a patent-pending scoop bill design that strategically focuses water pressure to power faster startups, sharper directional changes, and heightened response to angler input. Size: 4 1/3″ at 1/2 ounce. $24.99. megabassusa.com

Made in the USA by Brazalo Lures, the full-size Buzz Wagon is built on a Gamakatsu 3/0 Flip/Punch Hook and a slight, heavy wire bend down to increase hook up ratios. All blade colors, including pink and black, are anodized, so they are lighter and stay on top at slower speeds.

Missile Baits Ike’s Dice Jig
The Ike’s Dice Jig solves the mystery around the urchin bait rigging, storage, and hook issues.

Easy weight options come from putting your choice of weight on the easy weight hanger wire form. When the Dice Jig falls, the rubber skirt material creates an irresistible shimmy but also stays full when the jig is ripped. The Dice Jig can be stored in a small compact bag but will retain its full round shape when taken out. $11.99. Available in July. missilebaits.store.com
Missile Baits Ike’s Micro HD Football Jig
Adds a new addition to the micro jig craze that began with the Ike’s Micro Jig.

Designed to eliminate many of the frustrations associated with traditional glide baits, the Stryda 180 requires no aftermarket tuning, weighting or hardware upgrades before it hits the water. One of the bait’s most innovative features is Rapala’s exclusive Screw Diver System™, which allows anglers to quickly adjust sink rate using interchangeable tungsten belly weights.

At 3-1/2 inches and 3/4 ounce, the Snare 75 gives anglers a heavier option for targeting bass during prespawn and other cooler-water periods when fish often relate to deeper grass edges, hard-bottom transitions and staging areas. The added weight improves depth control and casting distance while preserving the Snare’s signature tight vibration and stable fall. Like the original, the Snare 75 features a belly-weighted design that creates added movement on the fall, generating strikes during retrieves, pauses and vertical presentations.
