Good thread...
Boga 30- hands down the most useful fishing tool I've ever picked up. Requires zero maintenance. Don't know how I ever went without it.
AS Elite wading belt- Great belt... After having a few that constantly needed adjusting, this one is pissah. Firm, good support, and doesn't go anywhere.
AS small bag- I'm with redlite, handy to keep small stuff in (camera, leaders, sluggoes & shads) but that knob on the front is a POS. Mine broke off within 3 months of purchase. Zipper is solid, but now I have an annoying dangly flap thing on the front due to the missing knob. Gotta hit it with some industrial velcro.
Korkers boots- Not a fan, sizing is all off, I have enormous feet and the largest wouldn't fit me. Might pick up a pair of the sandals for wetsuiting, but I think installing studs on old sneakers is a cheaper and better option.
Simms rivershed boots- Cash money. Expensive, but lightweight, drain fast, and have excellent ankle support. The studs Simms sells are garbage though, at least on Cape Ann granite. They wear down to nubs rapidly. Will be installing Wearbars this offseason.
LL bean rapid river waders- Needed a new pair, bought these on sale... Durable enough to climb over (a few) barnacle coated rocks, and haven't ripped when I've busted my ass. They all rip eventually, but it's tough to go wrong with that warranty.
Dragon tails lanyards- Thought they were nice at first, but they tangle much too easily. If you have two near one another... watch out. I've spent hours this season picking my boga and pliers apart. Will be going to a crimped telephone cord next year.
Gloomis 844 GL2, Saragosa 4k- New favorite setup for the boat and schoolies. I changed out the drags on the 'gosa to smooothies, and this combo has taken albies, bass up to 25#, and blues up to 15 lb no problem.
Guy Cotten Artic hoody- Great lightweight fleece hoody. Sheds water & splashes, but isn't waterproof. Great to have on as an additional layer.
All I can think of right now
