Pelican Catch 130 HD
https://www.rapidmedia.com/kayakangler/categories/9115-icast-2018-pelican-international-introduces-catch-130-hydryve-pedal-system
The Hobie mirage drive patent ran out (the one without reverse) and Pelican is putting out a boat with the Hobie drive due out in Jan for $1499. A lot left to be figured out but outstanding layout, cheap price, proven drive technology.
Shimano Curado DC

The guys at shimano got the ?dc? technology (aka digital computer) in the $249 price point Curado. Essentially a smart reel that on the highest setting is impossible to backlash. Love the tech that used to only be on $500+ reels.
Suffix Advanced Mono

The first big upgrade mono has seen with all the recent innovations mostly in braid and flouro. Low stretch and uses some braid tech from the 832 line (which I love). Definitely trying the out.

Best looking shrimp jig I?ve ever seen. Don?t love that the lightest one is 3/8 oz but I?ll buy a cpl for sure. Won best in category.
