NEW for 2009 is the Padded “Vallarta” 22-inch outseam, boardshort. Like the Angler Walkshort, the “Vallarta” Boardshort is equipped with an EVA removable fighting pad that can be slid into one of the two thigh pockets, eliminating the need for a rod belt. This comfortable fitting boardshort is comprised of: sueded microfiber, a drawstring zip-fly, two custom 3 Fish embroidered side plier pockets and Velcro closed back pockets. These original boardshorts are the first of its kind and are giving anglers a new perspective on big game fishing.
