thanks guys. i'm thinkin maybe waders now. it's a toughy. as one of the main problems is i don't have a dunk worthy reel. so getting out casting and then getting back in with out dunking the thing it key. still taking it in the shower with me after. it's been alot of work.. the morning and day tides are fine.. it's the dusk and night that kills me. sure the water is easier to deal with cause it warmer than the air. but out of the water is awful. i'll deal with it for a while as with 4 times fishing i hooked into a keeper each time.. key words "hooked into", the biggest spit the hook as i was going to grab him. his head came out like two inches, then a small swell came up behind him. giving him just enough slack to spit the thing. that one hurt. the other were still about 20 ft away. but that guy was right there. estimated at 38 inches. you should have seen me. he was in about a foot of water. the second the hook came out i dove on top of him. but missed.

Building 19 has the Body Glove. Mine was new in the original packaging. $29 for shortys and $39 for the full length. I needed a XXXL (6'2", 230) and Job Lot didn't have my size. I agree on the Building 19 Waders - I wouldn't go near them.

Two answer your second part about going more expensive. Depends on how serious you are, how many trips and under what conditions. My motiviation was wanting to try it a couple of times this season. I have been eyeballing two locations and doing a litlle wet wading with the NRS Wetshoe. So for $39, I'll be able to see if it is for me. If not, I'm not into for too much.

You really need to clarify a few things.
From the sound of your posts it seems to me like you're "wet wading" in street clothes or shorts to reach a certain spot.
When you get there, are you fishing from dry land, or are you still in the water?
How deep do you wade? If no more than waist deep, go with waders. If water will come over the top of your waders, you need a wetsuit.
With a wetsuit, you might be tempted to bite off more than you can chew right now. Keep the fact that wetsuits make no one drown-proof in mind.
