No I dont wear one around town so get that picture out of your head

I have a wading belt with the small surcaster bag on it, all I carry is leader material, hooks and a file, I hardly notice its there and can bounce around the rocks all night with ease.

Just a little history. Back before all this new surfbag stuff came about we would go to the Army/Navy store and buy surplus gas mask bags. Had my wife sew velco on both sides of the flap and used empty shampoo bottles with the top cut off and holes drilled in the buttom. Crude but effective and cheap. Total cost with the velcro was about 5 bucks. I had my last one stolen when I left it hooked to my bumper at Fresh Pond Rock about 10 years ago. I don't think you can get the old canvas bags anymore but they were great. I had 5 or 6 set up for different conditions/places/times of the year.

No boat, back in the suds.

I loved making my own bags!

Just picked up the large surf bag. Can't play with it until Xmas! Took some pictures if interested. However, don't want post pics if not sponsor appropriate...?

That new bailed Van Staal supposedly has a manual closure/no snap-back bail like the Saltiga's, which I like much better than the bail-less VS.
