I bout the B&W bag cause I like the tubes.the velcro was givin me WWII flashbacks so I took the toobs out an cut em on the band saw an put em in my Canyon bag.I always wanted a VS bag but they where hard to come by they where supposedly made from hi tech nylon that would take a beatin.I used to rapp a bungee around the canyon when i got extreme.I have seen bags empty out wit plugs u cannot replace gone forever.then I saw the aquaskin bag an was all over it.I like it. I need a smaller bag i think the single row VS Bag is for me.
Stuff one wit hab pencils an mail it to NJ please.

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.

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.

If you see someone wearing one around here, you don't want to ask what is inside it  |

You still can get surplus bags, mine is some kind of synthetic material has belt loops and good velcro fasteners. Put drainage grommets in the bottom and made a 8 tube insert with a bottom out of vac tube and plexi. Or I stuff a bag of ice on the bottom and put a plastic bag of eels on top of it. Total cost maybe $20 at most if you had to buy everthing and were'nt good at scrounging.

This is a new twist - a Van Staal Bag Bashing thread... |
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Piemma, prior to my bw bag I had gone the same route. The army navy place across from the breakfast place in gansett carries them. and The army navy surplus place on thayer carries them as well. That bag saw a TON of use. Of all the things the ex could keep that was it, it stunk cuz it was full too.. I cant wait to see the shots of these Vs bags, I just hope the quality is there.  |
Domination takes full concentration..

If you're a catalog-ho, the 2004 Saltwater Edge Catalog has a picture. It is a little dark though.
