Reading Flap's post on his blow out in his waders got me to thinking about many moons past[early days for you newbies] when fishing the outside beaches, when men were men and only want to fight instead of looking for a marrage lisc. You rarely saw anyone wareing BOOTS be it hip/waders ...rolled up pants was the outfit..now you would think with all the new high fangled rods/ reels and lines of today no one would even need any kind of skin gun to keep them dry cause they can cast better and further then ever before...so! whats the deal..are the fisherman of today afraid they may melt if they get abit wet or is it because their trying to make a fashion statement to lure in more then just fish.
