Show Me Your Fish Atom Smasher

Considering picking up the deluxe version to use as a crag pack. I’ve outgrown my current bag, and am considering the Atom Smasher as an alternative to the Creek 50 with added street cred. I’d like to see some decent photos of these bags, as there aren’t many on the website. Anyone? 

Just an FYI Russ is not making them at the moment so if you’re in any kind of rush look elsewhere. 

Oh, that’s helpful news! Didn’t realize that. Thanks! 

Looks like he will be making them again in October, so I’d still love to see any pics you might have!

How did you find that out? I’m looking to get one too.

Emailed Russ. I think it is also mentioned on the website somewhere

Although these are supposed to be nice, is there any big advantage compared to a Metolius quarter dome or sentinel?

I don't know much about the Metolius bags, but it is my understanding that these Fish bags are burly, affordable, and made by a small, climber-owned business. Plus they're rad

Only that when Russ dies expect the prices of used ones to sky rocket like a Silent Partner on EBay.   I expect to be able to retire to Trona when I sell mine. 

Lol - more climbers + fake nostalgia generation boosts sales beyond anything ever seen by Fish in the 90’s.  Get some cow print mixed in there for some super poser cachet.
