Last season this seasons gear
Posted: 27 Feb 2019, 14:24Last seasons buys:
I spend about a grand most pre seasons. Last year I was delighted with my purchases. A Simm's guide wading jacket. It still looks like new and performed brilliantly.
The Orvis Boa Pivot boots were a dream buy. All wading boots should be like this . Light, comfy, good grip with posi studs. Easy to get on and off with the stainless steel laces including a pop out pivot system. 10/10 FOR ME, MY BEST BUY.
The Vision zipped Ikon waders from Diver Dave's were also fantastic. They didn't leak. yeyyyy. Dave, lathers them with a layer of glue. They fit great, are extremely comfortable. When you want a pee, it's easy. Anglers worry the zip will leak - well, mine didn't.
My blue trendy Maui Jim's were a joy to use. I've said it before they make the world look a more beautiful place. Great clear vision for water and the surroundings.
This seasons buys:
This season I'm looking to buy the Penn Slammer 111 3500. I was concerned the additional 100g weight difference with my current Calidas would bother my. I just have to get used to it - if it does.
Buying a spare spool is an added expense, I don't like but, hey ho . It's a must if your a wind knot champion
A new Tenryu Swat 9 7" 8-35g will be winging it's way to me. Having broken the butt on my old one. I now have a spare tip. Therefore, it's a no brainer. A good rod that, I enjoy using. Not many other rods out there with this quality, including a cork handle which, is a must for me.
I did consider the HTO shore-game and the new Tailwalk Eginn 9-6. But, for my cork handle fetish, I may have purchased one.
Another pair of Maui Jims purchased in copper bronze . I like this colour for the mornings.
Not for me
I'm considering selling my Go Pro silver 4 hero. Never really enjoyed using it- a lot of faffing about for my liking. I might buy something else.
