I know it's not quite time YET but it's creeping up on us fast. Got to find some for me and Nessa. Oh, I will not sue a stringer due to a Snake issue I had a few years ago but will one of those baskets with the floating tops work fine?

Coleman.com see if they have any left. They bawt out hodgeman I think and had em all on speshul!!
Floating basket is the way to go. As far as waders, I've had expensive and cheap ones. Now I only buy cheap ones, they all end up leaking equally. Neoprene for comfort.
It'll be a few weeks before I can get any though. Just getting my ducks in a row for then. Thanks for all the input guys
Stocking foot neoprene with wader boots are the most comfortable. I got both kinds and will never buy anything else. You actually get boots that fit and feel good that way. Just go to bass pro and try em on and then order from cheaper web site.
I saw these on Craigslist after I read this post. Looks like a great deal but you may have to wear an extra pair of socks.Bone Dry Waders RedHeadThey look like they will most likely fit any shoe size:D
a little duck tape around yo shins and yo favorite pair of sneakers and wahlah.Quote:

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.Quote:

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
LAST YEAR? What about the upsiDeDownDucer?:p That was Twenty10 wasn't it?Quote:

Dadgummit Maj :)....You got the thread off topic....and I even had to moderate myself. :D The subject of this thread is about chest waders....not crankbaits and ways to store them. Lets all make a effort to keep the threads on subject...Thanks. Now ....we can either go post about the cranks in the Pulling crankbait thread....or we can start a new thread.
UH, Pulling 101 would be good. Thanks again. Bottom spanked!!OUCH.Quote:

G-3, can you move this the new thread? :) Man, really working you lately.:eek:Quote:
