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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Congrats Tom, as many have already pointed out the Good about Tom and the craftmanhip of his bags. I have had the honor of fishing with Tom and spent some fun times just shoot the sh-t as well. I would like to personally say congrats and wish you the best of luck. I'll see you on the island. Need a custom bag BTW
