Friday at IFTD is always a countdown to the parties, but there were still some awesome things to be seen on the show floor. A quick stop in the Sage booth showed a few of the Best of Show winners, their innovative drag system on their 8000 series saltwater reel is one of the most innovative things at IFTD this year. And their Circa rod was good enough to nab Best of Show honors.
From there, it was custom brews, showgirls, and a big party at Patagonia‘s Reno headquarters on the Truckee River.
