I picked up a pair of Sospenders i got the ones that are both you can set to manual or autoinflate.I almost got taken out last year in a strong current at a spot i fish.I keep them in my truck and if i even think its bad they go on from now on.

I wear a type III P.F.D. on the kayak at all times. Comfortable to cast with but if I was surfcasting with the long rod I would go with an inflatable type V to have full freedom of movement.

I haven't fallen overboard or taken a dunk since I purchased my SOSPENDERS, but if I do (and I know I will) I am damn well ready. Worth the money. You can always arm it for manual if you think wading deep will set it off. You just have to have a plan if that happens. My wife demanded I get mine after a particularly eventful week of fishing on the Vineyard. Kenny Scwamm, or rather his family, wishes he had one on.

I was on the rocks last night and I can tell you I was super gunshy without them on. Bashed my shin only once but was still gripped.
