Hey OFF,


Today, I went wet wading for some salmon for the first time.
I was having fun until the cold kicked in.

Can you guys recommend some good waders.
Im hoping to spend less then a $100 but can spend a little bit more if the quality will last me for years.

Thanks JMatt and River55.

River fishing is so much fun if you have waders.

Honestly id spend over 100 and buy something that will last. I bought some cheapy Canadian tire waders a while back and theyre complete crap. The seams on them Just dont hold up. If u river fish alot like me, spend the extra money and buy a pair of simms.

I have the streamside spirit waders they are listed at 184 but can be found cheaper

Honestly, Ive been using these since spring, I fished 7 days straight at one point in these waders, bush wacked, jumped, climbed sharp rocks ...everything. starting september I fished about 2-3 times a week in these and they are as good as new. Not a single leak, rip, tear or anything of that nature.

Shoe goo man works wonders and seals it back up. I bought the same waders you got (were on sale) and have been using them almost every day for the past week no issues keep checking the seam tape and looks good.

Ya I've tried everything, and they just don't wanna seal properly and there's a bunch of holes too, they were good while they lasted.

If you want a cheep pair for cheap to last you the season get some Canadian tire neo's then upgrade to breathable's in the spring

 

[instapump416]

I'll keep you guys posted on what I decide.

I hate to say this more than you know but waders area vital part of your kit--that said simms. and simms only--the best series you can afford...

I finally put some money together and I plan on purchasing the Simms G3 Guide Stockingfoot
http://www.simmsfishing.com/shop/waders/g3-guide-stockingfoot.html

Anyone own these waders?
Do you buy true to size or go up/down a size?

Im hoping to make this purchase this week


EDIT:

I found some good fitting vids that can help on sizing

I would take some thick thermal socks for winter fishing and go try them on

i went a size larger, its not too baggy for the warm days, and just enough room for some good layering underneith
