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.

What I said was I think those VS AND Surcaster bags are way overpriced, you as a retailer have to sell to make a profit and I understand that completley, its not a personall attack, IMO its crazy to spend $150 bucks for velcro, home depot sells the extreme velcro (and trust me this stuff is extreme) for $5.99, you can sew it on any bag you want!! Velcro is velcro its one company and the extreme is the best they make. When I baught my surfcaster bag it was 60 bucks but has went up since then, yes they are a bit heavy, I dont carry 10 plugs with me anyway so I mostly use the belt bag.
I have switched now from shoulder bags to the "fish pond" fanny pack and it doubles as a wading belt, there is more than enough room in it for all the plugs you need and everything else, plus I hate a bag over my shoulder while I am casting. That fanny pack was $85 at fin and feather. Anyway I stand by what I said , there to expensive.........
