[Finaddict]

Patrick,

Thanks for the update ... this is good news as I am in need of a number of AquaSkinz stuff for this season ...

At this point they have grown enough to manufacture higher numbers of products resulting in lower per piece costs. This week Aquaskinz released their 2007 catalog and pricing. Materials are the same, Quality is the same, Prices are less.

Aquaskinz has always had a controlled minimum pricing to protect the small shops from internet and industry giants. For 2007, instead of raising the prices they were able to actually drop most of their prices. The following is what we, as consumers should be paying.

Large Surf Bag (double row) $95 Medium Surf Bag (single row) $78
Small Surf Bag (reg height) $43 Small Surf Bag (tall version)$47.50
Large Belt Pouch $23 Small Belt Pouch $27
Wader Belt/Back Suppport $20 Black Thunder Gloves $20

***NEW Wader Belt w/ Velcro Adjustment $10.50

Though I definately have a relationship with the company, I tell you what, put the Skinz Single Row Bag at $78 next to the single Row VS, Bronko, Canyon, BW etc. It don't take a smart man to see where you should spend your money.

Kadir. They look great. I've been looking for a lightweight with a hood to use when the Rampage is too hot. Will they be for sale in Ct. this spring? Billy D. Ct. Surfcasters

Nice stuff guys

I hate BOSTON MEDIA WHORES!!!!!!
Ernie Boch is the best of the list (I like him OK).
Anybody ever notice that him, the Andleman Bro's (who I plan, not hope on beating up some day), the Kowloon Guys, and Charlie Moore travel in packs???
Why not the Bomba Bros...we'd be much more appreciative of the attention.
I will anounce our master plan at the TFCTFN.
Thanks,
Rick

What comes first on Phantom Gourmet, an advertisement and then a good review or the other way around? Either way the Andlemans are in bed with all of their sponsors especially Kowloon.

SEMI_DRY?????
that concerns me

My first season with it last year. Like it very much. This year I'll have it from the beinning and looking forward to wading chesat deep in my favorite bluefish, sorry clammer, spot.

best money I spent was for the wading belt with the back support. My back used to ache after a few hours. Something so simple makes a big difference. I was thinking about attaching a rod holder to it so that I could stick the rod in it and i could free up my hands while fishing or climbing up bluffs. Could that work Kadir?

[Mr. Sandman]

I like their gear. I have had good luck with it and use it pretty hard. The company has stood behind their product and actaully repaired something for me at no charge. IMO that says a lot today. It is nice to see a company that specializes in surf fishing gear... few do. The bags and tops are solid items but the little items have impressed me the most...ie. the hood, the gloves eel bag, pouch... all these little items make for a much nicer experience when the conditions are ugly.

this is really great news. I have the medium surf bag and the thing is just awesome.
as for Boch, have you seen those horrible commericals he does with our beloved Charlie Moore, oh my god, the guy seems like the biggest f'n phony!
