Fall fish Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 For waders I would recommend Simms and Patagonia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyDee Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 My buddy got me a set of patagonias last spring on clearance. They were great til this spring when they leaked. I brought them into the patagonis shop and the manager replaced them with not only a new pair but the next model up and man are they awesome waders ! "You can't fish here ! This is the swim area!"

Fergal Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Wet-suit if you plan on pushing it a bit. Since the OP is asking for wader brands I'm gonna go out on a ledge and say he's not up to wet suiting yet.... It depends on your budget and how hard you're going to fish. Beans has a great warranty, many like those. Simms is great but pricey. It just got a pair of G4s courtesy of my bass pro rewards points. I wasn't going to pay for them out of my pocket.

PortlyRedhead Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 patagonia x2! I started with a pair of heavy Red Balls 18 years ago. They lasted 15 years. I then invested in a pair of $200 Orvis breathable boot foots that did yeoman's duty on the sand (in spite of the felt soles). They were not what I needed for cold weather duck hunting OR for jetties and rocky shorelines. I now wear a pair of Patagonia Rio Gallegos waders and their lightweight wading boots, which are actually too warm on days like today. I slide down steep banks, bust through briers and climb in and out of duck blinds in them. Having said all of that, if your fishing focuses on sand beaches, get a pair of breathable bootfoot LL Bean or Orvis waders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh41 Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I have a pair of Simms and like them. Take a look at Sierra Trading Post, they have some Simms and Patagonia typically on sale at good prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudefishing Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I like the LL.Beans as well, but then I also like my simms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudefishing Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I found that I had to look at just what did I want them for, Breathable for the spring & summer and then another insulated pair for the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Bass Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 I've had a pair of Pro Lines for years and they are still kickin, no leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlpetrey Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 In my experience the gravel gaiters on the Patagonias tend to trap sand in the seams. The Simms, with their solid neoprene gaiters don't have this problem. Really no big deal though. They're both great waders. I prefer the Simms though.
