I purchase and use quality gear. And I then to shop for "Made In USA" as much as possible. I personally think that quality gear should look good. Why pay good money for ugly looking gear? That said, I would not go out of my way to match the color of my waders to my surf top, for example.
My $0.02.

Most of my reels are scratched to hell and back, and my favorite rods have wraps that get clouded in wet weather.
I don't fish for show. When you like to fish at night and alone, why should what your gear looks like matter?

This year I will post a picture of you in your wet suit. Then we'll see how good you think you look as opposed to what you really look like. |
Why even try.........

I used to be beautiful. The fish didn't care. Now I look like hell. The fish still don't care. But, I'm comfortable and don't care if I fart in my waders.
