Advice needed for Dry Top
Can anybody offer any advice or pros and cons on a good dry top. I'm trying to keep it around the $150 mark so obviously Aquaskins is out of the question. Thanks.

Check out Bomber Gear dry tops. A little more expensive than you're looking at, on sale for 180. I got one at the end of last year and was really impressed with the quality.

Thanks angler, I'll check it out. It's worth paying the extra money if it's good quality.

Contact Bomber directly. Last winter they were clearing inventory and they were selling their 300.00 top for 150. This was especially true if you wanted an extra large. Seems that their main customers are yak people who don't grow to manly size like fisherman.

Dangles,
I'm 5'-10" 170 lbs. Is the XL to big and what kind of price are you looking at. Would you mind sending me a picture of the top when you get a chance. Thanks.

Two reasons
1 - Made for Kayaking
2 - Bomber Gear was "out of business" for a while.
The Bomb is the bomb.   Great top! |
I'd rather be fishing!
