Waders

[Dan23]

Hi,

With the weather getting colder and the water up over the grass @ NPD waders seem like a sensible purchase. Just wondering if anyone has had any + or - feedback on any. Only looking to spend around $60 if possible.

Anyone tried these??

I'm assuming the sizes relate to shoe size??

Anyone else got the same idea??

[mangler]

They look alright for the price Dan, especially with winter coming up. My guess is that the sizes would relate to the boot sizes. I'm sure they'd fit the bill well for wading in past the grass at NPD, well until you take that one step too far & they fill up that is

Cheers,

Matt

after yesterday waders would be heaven on earth at NPD

im contemplating getting some

[Dan23]

ha ha that Bass in your pic looks enormous Tom lol:laugh:

Yeah,

I might just order those ones off Mo. Hopefully they're the right size, Dino was telling me they can shrink down a bit. Maybe better to go up one shoe size?

[fishyman]

could always just wear thick woolen socks

and yes it was an elephant lol

[Dan23]

Just got a tip those Shakespear ones at BCf are pretty good for $59.

I got a pair from BCF for $30 with a free 12' surf rod. that was last year, but I think I saw the deal again the other day.

They are good for early mornings, but no good if you are facing the sun later in the day as you can end up with fried **ts, and no good if you intend to walk a fair way in them.

bcf have a neoprene pair as well for 99 anyone know if these keep you dry or seep water like a wetsuit

[fishyman]

the idea of neoprene is that it keeps a very thin layer of water inbetween your body and the material which quickly heats up to your body temperature keeping you warm.

and im guessing they would be much easier to move around in aswell.

Anaconda have neoprene waders that retail for $99.99.

Come in and see me in the Logan store and i'll do you a better price.

We also stock the Shakespeare pvc waders.

Thanks mate, Logan's a fair way from me but thanks anyway. I might check out the Anaconda over my way though.

[Nastymind]

No worries.

They're a great looking pair of waders.

I'm sure they'll pass the test.

[Nastymind]

Speaking of 'test',

If a quiz is quizical, what is a test?

[jeff f]

allways buy up a size in waders so you can get out of them easily if you do happen to go in and fill up

I bought some Kokoda stretch chest waders at Big W today, they are $31.00 ATM (on special I think).

These are the same ones a-mart sells for RRP $69.00 but sometimes have on special too.

Tried them out tonight at NPD, very comfortable, even for the walk back to the car. Make sure you try them on before buying though.

These look alright. They come up nice and high and there's a pouch big enough to fit enough lures. Just need an attachment to clip you rod to whilst changing lures and it'd be awesome.

Slightly off topic but just came across these. Pretty awesome idea for those early morning sessions.

Looks like you can peel some fingers back to tie lines then quickly put them back.

i aked in an older thread about neoprene waders, can they fill up and pull u under like the rubber ones or are you sweet if you fall in?

[kriso]

testical??? oh no, i fell for it...

[Stinger]

Anybody know where to get the waist waders from localy.

I am after a pair but don't realy want to buy them from motackle as I want to try them on first.

I was thinking about buying neoprene waders from anaconda the other day while it had a sale. I asked one of the guys there if they were waterproof or not and he didnt really give us a confident answer. My question is, they'll soak up some water, will it be enough to wet whatever it is you're wearing underneath?

[Terry H]

But guys - the water is going to be warmer in winter:P Surely it's best to be IN the water

Does that mean when I go fishing with rocket and faulked I'm going to look like im with a couple of old timers? The water isn't that bad once you sink 'em in

I've tried with and without...with wins hands down;)

If you fish with me and Jase, people will wonder why this pair of smart and attractive fisherman are doing with the young pnemonia candidate in wet shorts and thongs:P

[faulked]

they say you should keep the nuts cool to increase fertility but there uis a limit

I have a feeling that may have been me.

Was it at the Logan store?

I posted a thread on AFO not long ago asking for facts about neoprene waders and didn't really get anything too solid.

I think it's just one of those things mate.

Sorry, we can't know everything

I got a pair of the Kakoda stretch ones today and tried them out and after having them on for 3 hours facing the arvo sun, buy the time I got them off my trousers were damp from sweat. Could be its just because I am a hottie, I used to be a cool dude.

[Rocket75]

I've found I get a bit warm if I am are out of water for any length of time, but staying wet tends to keep the temp down.

I've been wearing trackies under to keep the chill out for early AM and late PM sessions.
