Oh, by the way, one of the best surfcasters that I've had the pleasure to know and to fish with never wore a wet suit , rarely wears waders and does all of his surf fishing wearing hip boots with golf spikes, Grundens splash pants and a waterproof surf top of varying weights depending on the season. He has 3, 50 pound bass and one 60 to his credit over the years. Like some one mentioned in this thread, a good fisherman is a good fisherman no matter what he wears. Also, wearing the hip boot/splash pant combo is very comfortable and not as restrictive or limiting as you may think. I probably do 85 % of my surfcasting in this outfit and don't believe I am "missing out" on any action.
