I don’t know whether it’s just me, but I’m giddy as hell about some of these cool new toys I will have in my hands starting in 2012 as part of my association with them. And if you like Quantum rods and reels, maybe you will too!

Each of these products were released to the public early this morning at ICAST which is being held in Las Vegas.

Meet the Quantum EXO line of rods and reels.

Will retail for a very respectable $160

In addition, a new line of multi-species “Angling Edge Rods” will be available as well. Heavily influenced and designed by Al Lindner and the TV show, these rods will come in 20 different styles to accommodate everything from walleye fishing, smallmouth bass, and even panfish. Unsure what the pricing will be for these rods but I’ve heard rumors anywhere from $80-$120.

And last but not least, KVD has introduced a new signature series “Tour KVD Cranking Classic” that will run for $300.

As I see and read the news myself, my only qualm is that rather than focus on out-pricing other companies with newer and more technologically-advanced products, why not make these newer introductions more affordable so that the average guy might have the chance of purchasing. Why not lower on price to pick up on volume.
