Were waders readily available to everyone back in the early days? I might be able to cast further but I still have to walk my schoolie back into the water to revive/release the fish rather than throw it in from 10 feet away. I guess if I kept everything I caught it wouldn't be an issue. I'll take today anyday.

When men were men and it was the fall run and you were 6'-6" you wore Servus Company waders and they didn't come in tall sizes so your waders crotch was 8 inches below your own.

Made for some fancy maneuvering racing up the beach to avoid a big roller. More like duck wadling than walking.

Always kept a small can of Johnsons baby powder handy when putting them on. If it was warm and you were wearing shorts and you didn't sprinkle in some powder them Servus rubber waders would take every hair off your leg going in, ooh, eeh ouch!

Why even try.........
