Thread: OK guys, what kind of Chest waders do you recommend?

You can get by with the 3.5mm neoprene jobs as far as insulation goes. You'll get chilled at times, but more often than not, a little later on you'll be sweatin bullets.

Don't think you're gonna have much luck finding them in your size this year though DD. I heard tell the mfgs. were all discontinuing the gewber sized ones. Might just have to run each foot in a wonder bread bag and zip tie 'em as high as they'll go.

Wannabe...

they're using the gewber size. They won't have to sue but a 3 inch square section

Now you've opened a new can of worms. What do you need the waders for?

Maj....during the spawn when the fish are shallow and up in the trees and bushes....you need to get out of the boat and wade and fish all that cover with a jig pole.

I guess no one told you that the spending never ends.:D:D Some people wade for crappie when they move shallow to spawn.

Maj....next will be the scuba gear that we use sometimes when the fish go back deep. :D

Creek you are sooo right about the spending part.

You're where I was lat year at this time, just getting into things. You'll see what we mean about spending. Keep up with what all you buy and how much you spend on all of it for the next year and give us the total Tab on it.
I started out with a Garmin FF, bout 150 bucks and now I have a Lowrance 520 C with GPS and that 997 SI. Then the poles. Pulling crank poles, trolling jig poles, Jigging poles. Jigs and bodies in 1/64th, 1/32nd, 1/16th, 1/8th and a few 1/4's for alot of current and wind. New tackle boxes for each different thing you buy. Ya GOT to have atleast 75-100 Cranks at 4 to5 bucks a pop. Then 1, 2 and 3 oz weights. Braided high vis line and mono HV line. on and on it goes bud so BE READY:D
