#7944, "Yet another hybrid craft..."
Thu Apr-11-02 11:05 AM

  

          

Got a link on my MSN web portal for 'fishing gear' specials, & found this interesting 'hybrid' craft, made by Orvis, for $250 (350-lb weight capacity). Pretty cool setup -- looks like a tube-on-a-tube!:

They also had the "Hodgman Wadelite Breathable Stocking Foot Chest Wader" for $99.99:

Yeah, WaterSkeeter makes it for 'em. Goofy lookin' huh! Very comfortable though. Not very durable however. When I worked at Western we had to return almost every one we sold.
We never sold 'em for $250.00 though. Yikes!

The waders are cool though. You can get those at any SportMart(or most Hodgeman dealers).

Can get the same craft from watersketter for 179.00. Sat in one at the sportsman expo here in Sac it was pretty cool. You can use it for a chair when your not fishing :)

Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have-yous

You don't happen to have a link to the place selling those waders for $99 do you?

I didn't see these before, until I tried verifying the link I just posted. These waders might be worth a closer look!

Take a peek:

I have the waist highs, and I love them. They are awesome on the kickboat, but a bit too short for my float tube. Cold water feels really cold when it gets in the back of your waders and runs down your butt-crack. those tall ones will be my next purchase. Thanks for the link.

..off that link I posted, from 'MSN Shopping' (saw 'em listed on another site for, like, $117).

Can't wait to try 'em out! They look similar to the Cabela's ones that Eric had on last Sunday. I wonder what he paid for his?

Anyway, I should have 'em in time for Clear Lake -- ya-hooo!!!
