advice wanted on waders

[learner]

looking for my first pair of waders for sea spinning etc.

I have seen the ones with boots attached and ones with socks,

Do the ones with socks have a sep pair of boots that go over the top?Are the breathable ones better as they keep you warmer?Are the ones with sep boot better as they don't rip on the rock due to the boots?are the boots a prob as they also need to dry out or end up smelling the car out?

Any other q & a would be helpful

PS i don't want to go overboard with the price so the ones that cost a month wages are out lol

Hi the one with "socks" are called stocking foot and the other ones are all in ones with boots attached. Personally i would go with the ones that have boots attached. were you after thigh waders or chest waders? regarding "will you dry them out" all waders are waterproof so the water will just drop off them and will be dry in seconds.

Prices, you can get neuopreme material waders which is the same as wet suit material they are alot dearer then just normal waterproof ones. you can pay up to 200 quid for a pair of neuopreme chest waders. or for waterproof material thigh waders (snowbee which are a very good make) they cost around 17- 19 quid. So it all depends if you want chest waders ot thigh waders and what material you want them in.

I personally use a pair of neoprene chesties. They are snowbee classics and cost £60. For spinning these are the kind of thing I would be going for as you are going to be in the water and want to stay warm and comfortable. I also use them to keep warm on peirs etc, in the winter as the material is windproof and keeps me very warm.
Hope this helps Tompa ;D

Cheers bassy and tompa

I have now invested in a pair of chest waders the neoprene ones with the boots attached. They are made by mustard so hopefully OK. Other half thinks they veeeerrrrryyyyy sexy.

OK he said I look gay in them......how many gays wear chest waders?

But they should keep me warm and only £50 from Ray on the pier.

Cheers for help

I Know bassy.

Anyway they work and are worm. The problem is I still can not fish.

tried them out ot north shore on Sat. Found a great place at low tide, hung about till the tide started coming in. Went to car and set up, when returned to the mark others had got there!!!!!

Moved a bit down and thought it was about my 3rd choice for a mark. Found out whay as about 15m out was a sea weed bed and lost some good spinners to it!

still I did look sexy in my waders! think all the fish were in around my feet trying to get my attention

Can't wait to see you in them bad boys in July mate
I'll bring some bodyguards for you to hold off the women ;D ;D

Seriuosly tho' My noeprene ones are the mutts mate, you've made a good choice. You'll find them hot tho', in the summer when not in the water but that's a small price to pay, for the comfort they'll bring in the water and the winter!!!!!!
