cow tamer 03-02-2012, 09:22 AM Can't wait to try mine out this upcoming season. Tired of getting hook-ups with my other bags.
GattaFish 03-02-2012, 09:31 AM Thanks guys... I have been looking forward to this for a while,,,, As most of you know I try to visit this site at least once a day as a member so I am here often to answer questions.
Right from the start I want to thank everyone for all their support.....
piemma 03-02-2012, 09:34 AM Thanks for being a sponsor. If John says you are a good guy, then you must be. John doesn't like anyone.:rotf2:
PaulS 03-02-2012, 09:34 AM Tom makes nice stuff!
Hi Tom (Gatta Fish)
It's like a revelation when I find out when a screen name matches a real person!

chefchris401 03-02-2012, 09:57 AM Awesome to have you here Tom!
Never knew that was your screen name.
Tom makes some great bags, I love my three tube, it's bullet proof.
Tom please make use of the vendors forum for questions and what's going on. Seems like really no one else does.

nightfighter 03-02-2012, 09:57 AM Solid guy, well grounded values, hardcore. Those were my first impressions when Tom first joined us on a Cuttyhunk trip many moons ago. Nothing has changed in my book. Exactly what you should be looking for when doing business. His core values will help his business to be very successful. Congrats, Tom. Your journey has been fun to follow.
ProfessorM 03-02-2012, 10:06 AM Congrats Tom

fatcow 03-02-2012, 01:23 PM Welcome aboard. My ? for u is? Custom bags. I want a 4 tube bage but instead of having the tubes i would want u to remove the jigs slots and have the decron cloth across were the tubes would go. In the end have four slots again but without tubes.
I will see u at the up coming show and ask u again there and explain a little better. Just wondering if it could be done.
THx Bobby
Welcome! I'm thinking of switching from my Hunter Bag to the Commando. They look good and are put together extremely well.

PaulS 03-04-2012, 11:18 AM Tom, you making belts also?
GattaFish 03-04-2012, 01:12 PM Tom, you making belts also?
I will have belts VERY soon,,, working on the webpage...
agsurfr 03-04-2012, 01:45 PM Very cool that Tom has become a sponsor!
His work is absolutely first rate. The guy cares and that is immediately obvious when you hold one of his bags. I recently took delivery on a 2 tube bag and I am really happy. I had always been pretty skeptical about custom/high end bags. Then I met Tom.
I had just been introduced and we were talking about bags. I was using an AS Small Tall at the time. Tom picked up one of his own bags (a small bag he made for his girl friend, I believe) and dumped its contents onto a picnic table. He handed me the bag and said "Fish with this tonight!" I was hesitant, but Tom insisted. Anyway, loved the bag. We talked about it some more and he built me a similar bag with a detachable front pouch. I am really digging this feature.
Anyway, good to see Commando here!
ThrowingTimber 03-06-2012, 06:37 PM One word:
AWESOME! :humpty:
makomania 03-07-2012, 10:53 AM Hi Tom! See ya at MassBass :D
GattaFish 03-07-2012, 11:11 AM Hi everyone,,, Thank you for the support.....
I am looking forward to doing some good stuff here,,,,,
GregW 03-07-2012, 12:31 PM I always tell people that I originally chose a Commando because of the quality (it speaks for itself) and the customer service. As you can see Tom is very attentive to customers and I feel that is very important in this industry. That is why i recommend Commando bags without any reservations.
Can't wait to get my next bag.
GooGoo Man 03-07-2012, 05:37 PM Here is a picture of mine in action!
Tom makes a great bag & is awesome to deal with.

Fiske27 03-07-2012, 08:23 PM Welcome Tom,Thank you for the Support!
you will figure out fairly quickly why his bags are held in such high regard..
