KastKing® Fishing Rod Racks Win Major Award, Boosts Company

KastKing® “Rack ’em Up” fishing rod racks outscore many entrants and big, long-established brand names in fishing tackle Best of Show Award vote.

Garden City, Long Island, NY (July 20, 2015) — Eposeidon‘s KastKing® brand headquartered in Long Island, NY bested many notable contenders for a coveted Best of Show Award at the International Convention of Allied SportFishing Trades (ICAST).

Eposeidon’s KastKing® brand was awarded Best of Show for their unique design KastKing® “Rack ’em Up” fishing rod racks. This year, 270 companies submitted 889 products in the New Product Showcase, all vying for the “Best of Show” award in 24 categories. Members of the media and buyers vote on the products for the awards. Making up a special section of ICAST’s half a million gross square feet show floor, the New Product Showcase provided special visibility for the industry’s latest innovations.

“The single most important feature for ICAST exhibitors and attendees alike is the New Product Showcase,” American Sportfishing Association (ASA) said in a press release. “The New Product Showcase, sponsored by Fishing Tackle Retailer, embodies the sportfishing industry’s innovative and entrepreneurial spirit and rewards that ingenuity through the “Best of Show” new product awards competition.”

Eposeidon’s KastKing® brand was well represented with a team of 15 at ICAST. It is the world’s largest sportfishing trade show and was held July 14 – 17, at the Orange County Convention Center Orlando, FL. Produced by the ASA, the industry’s trade association, ICAST – in its 58th year as the industry’s trade show – is the annual destination for the global recreational fishing industry. More than 12,000 representatives from the global sportfishing industry were in Orlando to see the latest innovations in fishing tackle, gear, accessories, and apparel.

KastKing® offers three different Rack em Up fishing tackle management rod rack models; a 12 rod rack, a 12 rod fold-flat rack and a 24 rod rack. They are all patent applied for designs. MSRP for these innovative rust-free aluminum racks allow fishing rods to be stored in an upright position with minimal floor space. MSRP for KastKing®’s rod racks are $64.98, $66.98, and $76.98 respectively.

“Winning the Best of Show award at ICAST 2015 is one of the most amazing milestones in our company’s history. Many thanks to our great Eposeidon team,” said Eposeidon’s 28 year-old CEO Tate Cui at the Chairman’s Industry Awards Reception. “As of now, our KastKing® brand products – fishing reels, fishing line, and rods, have sold in over 140 countries and made many big names rethink their strategies. We’re more than ready to take on any upcoming challenge. I believe with our business model and innovative business practices, we’ll become the next big thing in fishing.”

“I am proud and amazed of what Eposeidon has accomplished in the last eighteen months with our KastKing® brand. Let’s all watch what happens in the next eighteen months,” added Eposeidon’s Marketing Director, Tom Gahan. “We were approached by numerous buyers following the award.”

Eposeidon showcases their lineup of exciting new KastKing fishing rods at booth 1702 along with KastKing fishing reels, Ecooda reels and MadBite lures introduced for 2014.

Hempstead, Long Island, NY (July 8, 2014) — Eposeidon Outdoor Adventure, Inc. (http://www.eposeidon.com) will rock the fishing tackle world at the 2014 ICAST (International Convention of Allied Sportfishing Trades) set to take place July 16 through 18 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Located at booth 1702 will be Eposeidon’s array of the company’s latest fishing reels from their KastKing and Ecooda reel division, KastKing fishing lines, and lures from the MadBite division. Being introduced at the 2014 ICAST show will be Eposeidon’s new line of spinning and baitcasting fishing rods, including unique models for specific applications. ICAST is the leading annual sportfishing trade show hosting thousands of buyers and sellers of the sportfishing industry from around the world.

Eposeidon, which has been stunning anglers since its introduction of high quality braided fishing line selling for a fraction of the price of other brands, is making strong headway in other areas of the fishing tackle industry.

Eposeidon, which is also the exclusive North American distributor of Ecooda fishing reels, introduced 6 new spinning reel models from their KastKing product line in the first half of 2014 including the KastKing Blade, Orcas, and Triton – all featuring carbon fiber drag washers as standard equipment, 5 new models of low profile baitcasters, and 10 models of their new RXA conventional baitcaster.

“Through our exacting manufacturing, quality control, purchasing and shipping practices we have successfully been able to deliver top quality products at a selling price that is so low it baffles some buyers,” says Tate Cui CEO at Eposeidon, Inc.. “With our sophisticated supply chain management and a strong belief to let more people enjoy fishing, Eposeidon continues bringing great affordable products and more fun to the fishing community.”

“We were already strong in international sales and now we are making tremendous progress in the U.S. market. Our products enjoy positive reviews and the price point has spurred sales beyond our expectations,” says Tom Gahan, Eposeidon’s Marketing Director. “Three key elements make up our brand – high quality, low price for retail and wholesale buyers, and free or low cost shipping. These essential components have allowed us to move forward swiftly.”

Eposeidon will have a special wholesale dealer program in place at the 2014 ICAST show that allows qualified buyers to place a minimum order at a discount that is usually reserved for much larger product stock orders. The offer includes free shipping. Buyers need to visit Eposeidon at booth 1702 to place their order.

“We want buyers to have the ability to try out our products on a small scale order, even if it is only just one piece so that they can experience our quality and customer service,” added Cui.
