Fans of Animal Planet’s River Monsters capture the adventure of the networks’ top-rated series with a new collection of River Monsters rods, lures and tools. The new River Monsters fishing adventure gear will be revealed at the ICAST show in Orlando, Florida later this week, and is an expansion to the branded fishing gear that launched last year.

The show follows globe-trotting host Jeremy Wade as he investigates freshwater mysteries and underwater myths, while catching and releasing some of the most bizarre and dangerous underwater creatures on earth. The newly designed products include heavy duty multi-functional tools as well as hand selected lure kits made for extreme fishing.

The line features the special River Monsters GOLIATH rod series, with technology that allows for ultra-flexibilitymaking it possible to handle those monster fish.

River Monsters Junior, a line designed for the youngest fishing anglers, will also debut at ICAST. This line features a spincast rod, a custom camouflage mini-gear bag and a junior net to catch bugs and minnows. This line is geared toward kids ages four to eight.

We look forward to sharing more news about this property soon.
