New Equipement Put to the test this Year

[redlite]

I tried Back Beach lures.- they cast nice but don't catch diddly.

Grey Ultra-Lite Korker boots- most comfortable, functionable boot I have ever used--ulitimate design in a wading boot--but disintegrated twice in short periods of time. Man made materials didn't hold up. Now discontinued. Would be greatest boot if would make out of materials that last

Korker Cross Current boot- SUCK. --3 quarter height with a collar that isn't snug and lets gravel into them. Not very comforatbale either with very little ankle support.

The greatest thing I got this year (only used a few times)-
NRS Mystery Shirt-
Next to the D-ring belt rod holder thingy, the second greatest ever piece of equipement for wet suiting- Similar to "heater" tops, but is a full coverage (available in short or long sleeve-went with long sleeve)wind proof neoprene top to wear under wetsuit. Eliminates need to wear a windbreaker on those cool windy nights. Zero loss of mobility. Thing is PISSA. Wish they made pants out of it too.

M&D's canal pencils/ long distance casting canal pencils- cast like missles and catch better than any other pencil I used so far.

Pelican dry box- after going through hundreds of different dry sacks, finally bought one. Was concerned about the size/ bulkiness, but is the perfect size to hold my leaders and rinny-tin-tin. No more hook holes through water proof sack.

Aquaskinz small belt pouch- holds my pelican box perfectly so i don't have to carry my rag of a bag Aquaskinz med/ tall plug bag anymore. Little turn knobby thing on front flap is crap as it always opens up, but zipper has worked well.
