Silent North Makes Its First Appearance in the Carolinas

From January 9–11, 2026, Silent North Fishing made its debut in the Carolinas at the North Carolina Bass & Saltwater Fishing Expo in Raleigh, North Carolina.

The South is widely recognized as a global leader in bass and freshwater fishing, so when the opportunity arose to attend this show, we didn’t hesitate. The Expo brought together an impressive mix of bass-focused demonstrations, pro angler appearances, and a saltwater-oriented boat show—all under one roof. With industry leaders and passionate anglers filling the floor, we knew this would be the right audience for Silent North.

From the moment we began setting up, the response was immediate. Event staff and attendees alike stopped to ask about our products, often opening with the same question:
"Is this really inflatable?"
That question was quickly followed by: "That’s awesome—how much does it cost?"

The centerpiece of our booth was the Camp Cast Ultra, and it resonated with a wide range of outdoor enthusiasts. Bass anglers saw it as a stable, portable solution for their local lakes, while boaters and sailors were excited about its potential as a compact tender for larger vessels.

One of the biggest surprises came from a group we hadn’t fully anticipated: hunters. Numerous duck hunters stopped by to ask whether the Camp Cast Ultra could be used for waterfowl hunting. The level of interest and the conversations that followed opened our eyes to an exciting potential new category for Silent North.

We’re incredibly grateful for the warm reception in Raleigh and excited about what this market represents. The Carolinas showed us that innovation, portability, and versatility resonate across more outdoor communities than we ever imagined.

This was just the beginning…
