In this episode of the Mastering Rod Building Podcast, Bill Falconer talks with David Boyle of ThreadCentral about what’s new at ICRBE 2026 under new ownership and why the EXPO remains the can’t-miss event in custom rod building.
Bill and David break down the expanded show footprint with more floor space, two exhibit halls, dedicated seminar areas, and two Learning Center spaces designed for hands-on demos and better learning.
They also cover the weekend logistics—dates, hours, tickets (including online pre-purchase for faster entry), the RodMaker subscriber reception Saturday night, and a stacked vendor lineup—then invite listeners to stop by and say hello at the show.
