I hate BOSTON MEDIA WHORES!!!!!!
Ernie Boch is the best of the list (I like him OK).
Anybody ever notice that him, the Andleman Bro's (who I plan, not hope on beating up some day), the Kowloon Guys, and Charlie Moore travel in packs???
Why not the Bomba Bros...we'd be much more appreciative of the attention.
I will anounce our master plan at the TFCTFN.
Thanks,
Rick

What comes first on Phantom Gourmet, an advertisement and then a good review or the other way around? Either way the Andlemans are in bed with all of their sponsors especially Kowloon.

Semi-dry top is a standard industry term which generally implies there's no water tight neck gasket. Wrists are often water proof or at least water resistant in a semi-dry top.

True dry tops have both waterproof neck and wrist gaskets. Semi-dry tops are a better fit for anglers who don't want or need the wrestling match involved in putting on a dry top.

Price, as a rule, has nothing to do with differentiating a dry top from a semi-dry top. They are different products.

I love My AS drytop,It has served me well.
I really don't need the gasket around my neck.
I had to go 3 x just so it would be comfortable around my neck.
I don't wanna cut it as it serves a purpose for me when I need it.Most times though I just prefer a nice lightweight jacket with a hood so I can bow to block any water comin over my head an for when it rains..
This will fit the bill nicely.

Every morning in the parking lot of the coffee shop I would nearly pass out whilst taking off my dry top. No sh*t, purple face and all.
What a struggle.

I like their gear. I have had good luck with it and use it pretty hard. The company has stood behind their product and actaully repaired something for me at no charge. IMO that says a lot today. It is nice to see a company that specializes in surf fishing gear... few do. The bags and tops are solid items but the little items have impressed me the most...ie. the hood, the gloves eel bag, pouch... all these little items make for a much nicer experience when the conditions are ugly.

this is really great news. I have the medium surf bag and the thing is just awesome.
as for Boch, have you seen those horrible commericals he does with our beloved Charlie Moore, oh my god, the guy seems like the biggest f'n phony!

My first season with it last year. Like it very much. This year I'll have it from the beinning and looking forward to wading chesat deep in my favorite bluefish, sorry clammer, spot.

best money I spent was for the wading belt with the back support. My back used to ache after a few hours. Something so simple makes a big difference. I was thinking about attaching a rod holder to it so that I could stick the rod in it and i could free up my hands while fishing or climbing up bluffs. Could that work Kadir?

Hey guys,

Sorry for the late reply, been doing many shows and club presentations and a little fishing :bl:.

The new products will be available by mid-April so keep an eye out for them. The two new jackets have done real well in field testing....so much so the testers did not want to givem back :wid:

There is also a new wading belt (without the back support) that a lot of you requested and a new offshore chum bag with some cool features.

And as Patrick mentioned, we have worked very, very hard at getting better pricing so that we could offer the same quality products at lower prices.

We appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming shows!

Regards,
Kadir

Kadir,

When do you think we should see the new price structure in the stores?

John Wayne would have used this rod holster if he was a fisherman. It is also a wading belt or ankle wrap rod holder plus it is padded. Plus a pouch for pliers.
Call Mike at cape cod tackle.

JohnE: The current prices are available today but I cannot speak for the retialers individually. I am guessing they will start implementing them as soon as possible.

Thanks!
Kadir
