Just say 'No' Wolfgang. You can do it...we are all pulling for ya. --Sorry if a repost...I seem to have problems with some messages not appearing on my server. It IS a repost. As a matter of fact, it has been posted a hundred or more times over as many signatures in the past five years or so. NEVER do it again! Give someone else a chance. :( Wolfgang surrounded by selfish *******s. My apologies...I've just been to Wal-Mart to pick up a new...uh, well, apparatus. |

Yuji,
My #1 pair is a pants style guideweight. It has provided dry service for nearly three years. When the new G3's arrived I thought of getting a pair as a backup. Since I rarely wear chest highs, I decided on the Freestone. Walt Yuji Sakuma wrote: Walt, I am looking for a pair of backup waders.

I may never by Simms waders but I was looking at the G3's the other day. They cost apx. $450. That seems incredibly high, while $450 for a rod doesn't, tho I suspect that the material and labor costs are higher for the waders. Maybe it's because I;ve seem a lot of $400+ rods but no $400+ waders. Until now. I never looked at it that way Greg. I'm sure the waders are far more costly to produce. walt |

Hello Willi,
I choose to patronize any of four "local" (within a one hour drive) flyshops when possible. Unfortunately, Dan Bailey's products are only available to me by mail order, something I would avoid for items like waders for which fit is important. Thanks much for your suggestion. Best regards, Yuji Sakuma http://www3.sympatico.ca/sakuma/Home.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- "Willi" wrote in message ... You might look at one of the Bailey waders. Willi |

For backup waders I'd try the Hodgmans. They are durable, pack small, and
they're cheap. Interestingly, I had a pair of Ronny waders and they were terrible. bruce h |

"Wayne" Say, has anybody checked That's about the most offensive thing I've read in a while. There are drawbacks to being an American. We are spoiled and smug some of our neighbors are spoiled smug assholes. Sorry Yugi. bruce h |

Best regards, Yuji Sakuma Yes Yuji, you "qualify as a prick according to [ONE] of the other denizens of this newsgroup." I think the majority of us (me included) understood EXACTLY what you were sayin'. Op --if ideologies suck, ethnocentric thinkin' suck even more-- |

Bill Kiene has said in the past that American-made waders (Simms and [I assume] Patagonia) are (in his opinion, presumably) the best in the market, and that there are a lot of imported waders that just don't measure up. Thank God there's at least one manufactured item where the USA is holding its own. Forget hooks -- that's history. Eagle Claw hooks are pretty good. Another thing we Merkins produce in abundance is ignorant xenophobes. Canada, by contrast, seems to have a shortage of them. So, to help solve both problems, I propose we export Wayne Hart to the Dominion of Canada, to repay them for sending us Natasha Henstridge. Kevin, who admits that the Canucks got screwed by the exchange rate on that deal. Bite Me Vang!!! Henstridge is way cute than Hart. We want at least two draft picks plus a couple of mil to close the deal. Hell, we'll even throw in Sheila Copps and Maude Barlow just to show that good faith thingie. (do a google -- you'll love 'em both). Peter turn mailhot into hotmail to reply Visit The Streamer Page at http://www.mountaincable.net/~pcharl...ers/index.html |

Hang in there Yuji, we got 40 posts including this one out of these yokels
and they haven't figured it out yet. Usually, a "which waders should I buy" only gets about 4 or 5 posts these days. Even muskie the tuco can't raise much of a string. Bill Kiene tries to move 'em along but they are too constipated to move very fast or very far. Hocky season is warming up, we might get enough fur flying during hocky season and we could use the dubbing. -- Wayne (damn they're easy!!) To Fish is Human...To Release Divine!
