Produced by the American Sportfishing Association, the International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades—more commonly known as ICAST—is the world’s largest sport-fishing trade show. ICAST continues to be the place where the most valuable business relationships are born, strengthened and celebrated. And this year’s show in Orlando, Florida, certainly proved to be an outstanding event for Fish Monkey performance fishing gloves.

“We felt that the crowd was better than ever,” says Fish Monkey founder and president, Tim Mossberg. “Each day, the energy of the show was just vibrant—it really felt great to be there among so many passionate anglers and fishing enthusiasts.” He says there is continued strong interest and support for Fish Monkey’s high-performance products for fishing and hunting, including the glove lines, face guards and gear and now, the new sock line which is designed with the angler and hunter first and foremost. The company also provided a sneak peek at some new products including a Wooly Mitten and a Wool Beanie.

On the dealer side, the store displays and merchandising remain as strong as ever. With specialized displays for minimal footprint and maximum visibility, Fish Monkey offers many proven ways to help its dealers sell and promote more glove and gear sales. “The average dealer using our displays sells three to four times more product than dealers without them,” Mossberg says. “We’ve also found that customers who purchase our gloves are also very likely to add additional products like face guards and hats as well.”

International traffic was also a key component to this year’s ICAST show. With the global economy moving from the shadow of the pandemic, new opportunities in emerging markets such as Spain, Turkey and China continue to present themselves. Indeed, Fish Monkey has grown to become an international brand as the best-selling and most recognized line of fishing gloves in the world.
