Here is a link to the AKFF site and the brag matts they got ... price was reasonable. $20 for the regular and $25 for the large version (includes postage).

I would buy a afo one and put it to use

[Plastic Man]

for sure sounds sweet

[Feral]

Me too, been dropping big hints!

[pcsolutionman]

for sure

a few of us were discussing this after

I posted a pic of a nice bream on my akff mat the other day. I think its a great idea, angus even contacted me about getting some made so I told hime to get in contact with one of the mods there

Lee

[Lozzel]

Count me in too. Would look great in photos.

[rayke1938]

Fishntales have one too may be worth while checking with mossey where they get theirs from.

Ray

[Angus]

Yeap guys dont worry. This is most certainly in the pipeline.

[mackmauler]

yeh sounds good, never wanted a bcf one cant stand em lmao

[Brian D]

I'll have one, those BCF ones are ugly man. They take my money then want me to advertise them for free. I should send them a bill. Hang on, I need to catch a fish first.

I would also like boat sticker measures please. That should be pretty easy. It would be even better if it had the Classic logo on there somewhere too.

[Feral]

Sticker sounds a good idea as well.

[Angus]

Just going to throw it out there...

Does anyone have a contact, mate etc that works with vinyl banners etc?

Cheers

Angus

[ellicat]

No, but Bigtez is a trimmer so might be worth an email/PM to him.

[Gazza]

Yeah I'd buy one

Gaz

[Brian D]

Measure Stickers plaese:angry:

[ellicat]

Saw Bigtez was online, so thought I'd just bump this thread.....

[werewolf]

I got my BCF one to make it a bit easier measuring sharks. I hope this year I finally crack the meter mark, so I would want a AFO mat at least as long as the BCF one (1.2 m). I think some others commented they would like longer mats too. I might just be dreaming though, excluding eels it has been a long time since I caught something over the meter mark!:woohoo:

[Feral]

Will need 1.5m for Awoonga this year, Ray made 1.3m last year!

[werewolf]

(whistles) if I hook a 1.5 m shark, I will have dramas landing it!

Then again, Romeo will be on the gaff, so I'll be fineB)

[Fisher_90]

Bump.

Has anything come of this. I had to settle for a bcf one today i would rather a afo one tho.

Also wat about lipgrippers?

[pcsolutionman]

yeh come on angus pull your finger out man lol, last I heard the brag mat was high up on the to do list so im sure its on its way in good time.

Lee

[Angus]

Yeah guys we will get around to it.

However i have been a little pre occupied with my wedding, work and the BRC.

If anyone knew a good person to contact re making them that would. These things dont just happen.

Angus

[ellicat]

Fair go fellas:woohoo: - someone had to get married too you know.LOL:laugh:

[Fisher_90]

See what u think.

Thanks.

[Angus]

Vinyl banner usually cost about 150 plus. WE have had them made before. Ill get some quotes and see what we can do.

to be honest though, organising the competition takes priority.

Angus

[Fisher_90]

Hmm $150 that doesnt seem right.

[pcsolutionman]

We all know your a busy man Angus, just making fun. keep up the good work. give the guys at akff a buzz they must have got them done pretty cheap

Fisher, get some quotes mate. Vinyl banners are not cheap. I can tell you right now, the way most brag mats work is the sponsorship on them pays for them. Thats how you make it cost effective. Not the actual sale price.

Angus

[Fisher_90]

Ohh yeh well akff got the sponsors so i see now. So $150 each Shit thats alot.

[Angus]

Fisher_90: Not saying its not happening. I just need to shop around, look at option and try to find a better way. But with a lot of other stuff on this takes a while. Ill try and organise soemthing by the BRC.

Angus

[pcsolutionman]

from memory the akff sponsors paid $200 each, with the amount of mats they had made thats not alot of $$ for each mat though.

Lee

[Fisher_90]

Yeah just wondering. Does any1 here no of businesses that might sponsor this? Tackle Shops etc?

[pcsolutionman]

I know of one that might be interested but would need details and costs,

Lee

[Fisher_90]

How would you put it to them lol. Would you like to pay afo $$$$ to get ure shops details on a brag mat. Hmm

[Angus]

Pretty much! If its a fishing related business that is.

Angus

[Fisher_90]

You could only really have one tackle shop tho and wouldnt that be tackle world since they sponsor the site anyway? Akff have 4 sponsors

- The company that made the mats

- Lure Company

- Sunstate Hobie

And some adventure centre.

[Cowfish13]

A bit off topic, but how much would a BCF (just an example) brag mat cost? Only a small one, not the biggest ones.

[Fisher_90]

The bcf ones are 120cm and are $17.50 But half the time their $15 cos their always on sale.

[Cowfish13]

Thanks. How big are they when roled up? ie diameter of role and length of cylinder.

I might look into one.

[Fisher_90]

Maybe 30-40cm width and no more than 5cm when rolled.
