[cool][#0000ff]Hey, there is a difference between being famous and infamous. My handle around here for a long time has been TIO...The Infamous One. I was hoping that I could get some special consideration by buying direct and "dazzling" the company with brilliance. My problem is that I have known Dave Scadden since the 70's...and he knows me. So...not only did I not get fast service...I had to swing on the rope for almost a month. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]In fairness, they were backed up with all their H3 orders because they had to depend upon the air bladders for the seats to be shipped from another source. My order was the first one shipped when the air bladders hit their dock and I got it next day...without any extra shipping charges.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The catfish spawn is about over here, although it was delayed on some waters by the on and off weather patterns. But, that is always a good time to catch big males.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Pocket size...I will be posting some side by side comparisons on the different components of the H3...compared to the Super Fat Cat. The new ones are not really any bigger, and they are divided...with a small pocket compartment at the back. Good if you use it right, but takes some adjusting if you had a system.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have been working at downsizing the stuff I take out on any given trip. Through experience, I am usually able to plan what I will be using, and in what quantity, so I do not have to take a bunch of "maybe" gear. But...I still take a bunch of stuff on most trips that I never even get around to using. I guess I qualify as a fisherman.[/#0000ff]
