personal flotation

[BillM]

Hey does anyone use a pdf with their waders? I've
been looking at different types on line.One automatic
inflating one said it provides 22lbs of flotation, is that even
enough to keep you afloat?

I use the SoSpenders google it.

I checked them out they look good. Did you ever try them out??

I own one and use it all the time at some of the more intresting spots that i fish.

If they find you drowned with your pfd inflated, you'll be the first - no surfcaster has ever died wearing one as far as I know.

I like the inflating ones but I like the PDF fishing vests too. I think if I see the right vest I might leave my surf bag in the car.

I bought an inflatable one but never wore it so I sold it to #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, although I'm not sure it has enough flotation power to keep him up

Where I fish I'm a bit more concerned with breaking a leg or cracking my skull.

It's all relative I guess, but I think I'd almost rather have a thin profile vest than an inflatable if you were really fishing a bad area. Not sure if anyone does this.
