Still has the pouch. Pretty much the only additions/changes are more tin and bucktail slots, a D ring, and more black webbing on the spots where if you REALLY tried, for years on end, to get the VS bag to fail, you MIGHT be able to which is on the bottom where rocks slowly wear through the fabric and also on the back where sometimes there would eventually be a touch of wear from rubbing on your wader belt. It doesn't have the plier slot anymore though, the pic on our website was given to us back when the bag was a prototype.
There seems to be a little more room around the tubes and the bag is definitely an inch or so taller.
Lastly, the bailed spin reel. I still haven't seen it although a final prototype should be visiting the shop for testing in a few weeks, but I have no idea about actual production reels. The proto has a date with BFT and then some swimming around off Newport, we'll see how it holds up...
Seeing Craig Van Staalmo in the pic is encouraging though; back in the Reel Ventures days he was probably the most important guy over there but everyone always seemed to mention Rick Hersom and the other guy. He's still the driving force behind a lot of the new stuff now, so I'm expecting a great final product.
