Thumbs up

Can't wait to try mine out this upcoming season. Tired of getting hook-ups with my other bags.

Thanks for being a sponsor. If John says you are a good guy, then you must be. John doesn't like anyone.

Hi Tom (Gatta Fish)

It's like a revelation when I find out when a screen name matches a real person!

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.

Congrats, Tom. Some of the guys I fish with speak very highly of you and your craftsmanship. Nice to have you as a sponsor here.

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.

Welcome! I'm thinking of switching from my Hunter Bag to the Commando. They look good and are put together extremely well.

In the words of the great Borat - Very Nice!

I hope to be one of your growing customer base in the next couple of months. Unfortunately, I'm way behind in embezzling my fishing fund from the joint account...
