IFTD Show in Review

And that’s a wrap for the International Fly Tackle Dealer Show 2016. AFFTA thanks everyone — exhibitors, media, buyers, reps, and the whole tribe — who turned out for a fantastic week.

Next year’s show is set for July 12-14, 2017 in Orlando, Florida. AFFTA is accepting early applications for exhibitors for the 2017 International Fly Tackle Dealer Show, being held July 12th through the 14th in Orlando, FL. Rod manufacturers will have priority of choosing booth space around the casting ponds until November 1, 2016.

More than 250 media and buyers voted for their favorite new products in the New Product Showcase, setting a voter record.
