1st timer on the board. I'm going down to Sanibel Island FLA in 2 weeks. I' bringing my ST Croix/Shimano Stradic 5000, but i've never fished down there. I fish for Stripers up here in Boston with the tackle that catches them. What should I bring with me for lures. I'll be going from the surf, in the flats and maybe off a kayak. Thanks in advance for any help.

my hodgeman casters do just fine. have had them for two years now and no problems yet. relatively inexpensive as well so i wouldnt feel all that pressed if they were to get ripped.

Massmike- Any place in the US where Snowbees waders can be bought. I did a google search and could only find them in the UK. Ron

On the Sno-Bees I know Pat Abate has them at Rivers End Tackle in Old Saybrook Ct so there has to be other dealers around.

Snow-bees are my favorite. Light, tough and cut to fit the ample angler.
Simms a close second.
|
They're gonna keep callin' us "cutters." To them, it's just a dirty word.
To me, it's just somethin' else I never got a chance to be.

a good breathable bootfoot for the beach (orvis silver label) and a more durable stocking foot for climbing around rocks. I prefer a wading boot over bootfoot for the rocks because there is less fatigue on your feet. no ankle turn or your feet getting crushed between rocks. plus most bootfoots don't come with studs on the bottom. cabelas makes a couple of good inexpensive waders and boots.

The thing I like about the LLBEAN west branch breathable waders is that the "boot" is an integral, lightweight wading shoe with "aquastealth" soles that grip rathar well and don't involve felt. I do wear korkers with them, as needed though. I'd like to see someone come out with something similar. Most bootfoots are bulky and heavy and stocking foots don't survive the sand. I fish both rocks and sand.

Simms G3. Stiff price, but good reputation. USA made. I've had a good first season in some tough conditions with the pair I bought.
