Got some simms headwater boots and added wearbars.Work real good but had to add some jellin comfort inner soles.Mak products that are of great quality.Happy with these products.Now looking into some simms waders,not decided what ones to buy.Afterhours plugs and customer service are second to none.

Fished a GSB1321M last season, built so it weighs a little under 12 oz finished. Can't say enough good things about it.

Tried TA clips and found that the V shape caused knot failure when using a knot that put two loops around the clip (trilene knot).

Liked these Wearbar studs when used in hard rubber soled boots.

Did great with small Musso darter-clones (albeit on sub 20lb fish). I think Don (AfterHours) has a version coming out soon that will be worth a look.

Berkley Vanish Fluoro leader material is garbage.

Used a Simms wading staff that seemed great, but didn't hold up to saltwater.

I'm surprised to see this. I run TA clips and only use Trilene knots, I can't remember any knots failing on me...but I was probably tying them wrong ,thats why they didnt break.
