| I know we have a fishing forum but, I figured this would get more traffic here. Does anyone have a brand of wader they can recommend? I will be using them for wade fishing the coastal bend. I'd like to stay under $100. |

get a good pair of wading shoes and enjoy the water. i don't wear waders. just bring some dry clothes to get into for the ride home....i luvs me sums fishin the coastal bend....specially Aransas Pass +1, but in some of the colder months it can be nice to have waders. I do have a set of Patagonia waders that work great. If you are going to spend money on waders, you need to do it right and it is going to cost you over $200. |

Look at Academy. I bought some stocking feet waders there last year for fly fishing and have been very happy with them. I paid about $75.00. I'll check them out. One question...Do you need to buy wading boots to go over the stocking feet or do you just use the stockings? |

One question...Do you need to buy wading boots to go over the stocking feet or do you just use the stockings? Need boots. I find the stocking foot types to be more comfortable than the built-in boot ones. Keep in mind, a little neoprene goes a long way. You'll boil in the thicker ones down here, even in the winter. I also bought mine at Academy, iirc they were $50 on sale and are about 5 years old now with no leaks, (Hodgman) These days I find it better to use the breathable ones and layer underneath. Much lighter, better freedom to move, more comfortable. Don't forget a good wadebelt.
