Heh, I can only guess what I missed as I was out fishing...

The edit function should removed from the board, I love seeing what people say before they think first.

Almost sounds like I was accused of having over priced product? I carry almost every plug bag made in all price ranges except the Surfcaster bags since I can't get them. BW to VS to 'skinz and others in between. Surfcaster bags aren't exactly cheap either, last time I checked. $130 for an overweight surf bag?

The highlight of both the VS and the 'skinz bag is definitely the velcro, I happily pay a premium just for that. I've never lost a plug to the flap popping open on either my VS bag or my 'skinz bag, but I've seen plenty of surfcasters dump hundreds of $$ over the years into the surf thanks to lesser bags. The velcro on these bags also never seems to age and lose it's ability to grip over time either. Just this evening I was stuck in a toilet bowl in my wetsuit, clutching on to a few pices of kelp while getting bashed by waves and trying not to get sucked out to sea. When I eventually dragged myself out all my plugs were safe and sound in my Aquaskinz single row.

The BW bag is what it is, a low priced bag. People love them as long as they aren't too extreme in their surfcasting. It gets the job done as long as you don't ask too much of it.

Surf bags, overall, seem to be a "you get what you pay for" sort of deal.
