It could save your life.

About 1/2hr after starting to fish I hook into my first decent fish of the year I assume went 15-20lbs.The fish ran to my left right into some mooring buoys and line that had washed up about 20 yards off the shore at the end of a rock point.Of course true to form I lost the fish.I put on my korkers and ventured out onto this submerged rock point to investigate.Needless to say I still managed to slip and fall into about 3-4ft of water.

The only thing that allowed me to recover was the fact that I had my wader belt on.

Afterwards I thought to myself how hard it would've been if not impossible to have been to try and get up with my waders filled with water in a rather strong moving current.

Please wear your wader belt!Not just you but the people who care about you will really appreciate it!
