Premium Members Michael Nelson Posted March 1, 2013 Premium Members Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 As just a general poll, I'm wondering what rig ((franken-rig is an acceptable answer), arm and vest you all have and for how long you have been using them. Who has the oldest rig and still uses it on a frequent basis? I suppose I'll start by saying I have an MKV Evo and have had it for 13 months now.
