When do the price changes take effect?

??????? Maybe the 3rd times a charm.


Prices on the skinz website still reflect the old pricing so if someone places an order now they can assume that their cc will be charged based the new pricing?

Negative, figured since it was on the topic I would just ask the question here. Oh well.

Maybe an obvious question, but, do the pictures mean that you can actually fit 18 "regular" 2" Aquaskinz tubes into the large Elite bag and 11 2" Aquaskinz tubes into the medium Elite bag? If so is it a very tight fit? It doesn't explain those pictures anywhere on the Aquaskinz site...

Thanks Pete. I also received a response from Aquaskinz indicating they would not be changing the pricing on their website for a while to allow dealers to have the first opportunity for new customers which I thought was good.

The classifieds could get busy. Need some cash for a new bag.

Sorry I did not answer right away as I was waiting for one of the dealers that are involved with the site to jump in and thanks to Pete for doing just that. I no longer "sell" for the company and am not privy to some sales information but I am on Pro Staff (marketing)and have specific instructions to promote local dealers and play down any company direct sales on the East Coast. Kadir prefers the local shops sell the product and any direct sales are only set up because of a lack of dealers that has resulted in demand from customer groups in remote locations.

Just my 2...I fish fairly hard, I try to be good to my equipment but I end up always beating the chet out of my stuff. I can reduce a decent bag to a rag in a week of solid fishing. While I own a bunch of AS bags, as I switch out bags all the time, this past off-season I committed to the Elite Hunter tall double barrel. I wore it on my belt all spring, I fished pretty hard in trips to MV, Cutty and Mtk. plus home waters, all wetsuiting (except home) in fairly tough conditions. I just ordered my second Elite tall double except this time with the three single trays in it for more regular plugs; red fins, med. metal lips, etc. I laid them beside each other in the garage this afternoon and I couldn't tell which was the new one and which was the old. I was like---> Even upon close examonation I saw no wear on the double. Hmmmm. Impressive!
I am looking forward to wearing the two on my belt in my upcoming trips.
Also when wetsuiting the gloves are a must for numerous reasons.
The rest of the stuff is the best available on the market and with the drop in prices it is just about automatic as far as I am concerned.
Again just my 2.
