Thanks for the compliments, and yep, I love the green and orange one as well marco!

I wish I had some connections in getting some lead/BB/fishing weight filler. NYC has so many restrictions concerning that that it really obstructs my love for caring my bags. I really need some decent back-up filler to use.

Well, whenever I get enough money saved, I'll probably contact Toby with his improved stitching and filler. I've been hearing a lot of good stuff lately, so it'll be a worthwhile goal for me concerning bags and stuff. However, before that, I'm awaiting my hania and lesh bags to come in the mail sometime soon, so I'll be sure to post some photos of them and give an explanation on how they perform!

@wasabi:cant u just go into a fishing store and buy some damn weights????this is odd...ui can legaly buy a gun in amerika but no fishing weights????that cant be right!this sounds insane!!!what kind of "country of freedom" is this?otherwise,find yourself someone who can buy steel shot,or some shotgun-rounds,mthey would be best,they are filled with tiny lead balls,this is allmost the best i had so far,but its hard to get this stuff here.steel shots are even better,not poisonous(eventhoug the only poisenous thing about lead is the gas when u melt it,and thats not what u want to do!)give it a try,u might be lucky and have someone who can get u this stuff!and please post the pics of hanias and lesh bag,i get a bag from both too soon! :lol: :lol: :lol:

My first 32's. The green one (known as the Moneybag) was made by Tom Mosher. The purple one (known as the Wildberry Bag) was made by Pengpeng Du!

Agreed Matt! But I think I'll wait for my lesh and see what i think of it first. :lol:

Marco: Well, what do you expect? I live in NYC, and there's a lot of gun restriction laws in this state. Not even BB guns get a fair chance here! :wink: And I tried everywhere for a fishing store. I can only find huge fishing weights that are attached to the line/net really, so it's really no use whatsoever. I'll try to call up Richie Abshire to get me some extra filler though, or someone close in the stitchers contact list.

Anyway, about that maroon/light army green abshire: I'm sreiously thinking its an abshire mini and not an abshire A-910 standard. It's expanded so much! I'll be sure to get a picture for comparison soon. Weird since I got that bag from freedomfootbags.

how do they play in comparison?(to the abshire), and assuming you've used one, how do they play in comparison to a Mr.Sandbag?

they're about as good as a mr.sandbag.. I need to change the filler a little.. probably less rocks + some BB's if I get my hands on any.

compared to emmings i'd say they're 70-80%.. compared to abshire maybe 50-60% :?

Much love on that bag Sergey. Very pretty and the stitching looks very uniform!

And on that note, my Hania mini! Much props to her stitching and the colors. I couldn't imagine how great it looks. Insta-love.

Kind of blurry though. Wish I hadn't deleted my Paint Shop Pro 8 program to preserve disk space. :/
