Best pair of waders for reasonable price??

[ThePinkBanana]

About to snag a set of waders for duck season, my buddy is a guide.. So I haven't needed a pair yet since he just drops me off at the blind....But looking to do some wade fishing this winter. He says he buys a new pair every year since they always get snagged and torn anyway... This makes me consider grabbing a cheaper set. Anyone have any suggestions???

Fishing waders and hunting wader are not created equally. I would suggest having two separate pair. Cabelas will warranty just about anything that you can do to a pair of waders hunting. If you spend the extra cash now you will not have to worry about buying a new pair every season. As for fishing waders they are geared more towards comfort rather than ruggedness. The best bang for the buck I have found are the orvis silver sonic waders. Pair them with a good pair of flats boots and you can wade all day with ease.

cabelas hunting waders are hard to beat for sure

Anywhere in LC carry the wading boots?? Mine are shot and Hodgman no longer makes the style i have been using for the last 10 yrs or so. Neither Academy, D I C K 's, or Lafayette shooters carry them anymore. I guess stocking foots are not as popular anymore?? And Ditto on the Cabela's waders. Bought a pair year before last and am completely satisfied with them.

We need to take a trip to fishing tackle unlimited. Make sure you bring the gold card. Simms boots are da shizzle dizzle, will be the last pair you buy.

I saw some online, didnt want to pull the trigger without trying them on. Do they drain pretty good?? In the pics it didnt look like there were drain holes

That's why we need to road trip ftu, so you can try on the boots with the guide series waders. Mines drains gurd.

How about for warmth when fishing? Is thin ok as long as you have good base layers?

I've never waded, so I better figure out if I like it before dumping that chedda. I'll take you up on that if I spring for some
