Some questions on waders.

[IrishLad32]

The waders I had before were rubber, and when you weren' t using ' em you' d to hang ' em up and stuff ' em to keep ' em from dry rotting and crackin. I' ve seen that Cabela' s as neoprene waders for $50 and was wonderin if they needed to be hung up like rubber waders do? I don' t want to have to hang them up all the time ' cause I' ll have to go pick them up from my gramps everytime I want to go fishin. I' m lookin for something I can throw in the trunk of my car. That' s where I keep my rods and tackle box anyways. So umm...any ideas?

The trunk of of your car is no place to store rods, line or any thing you care about. The heat will ruin,weaken and just suck the life out of your equipment. As far as neoprene waders hang them up to dry inside and out fold up and store with the rest of your fishing gear in a cool dry place out of the sun.

All the name brand neopreens are good and hold up well. I think this is a product where you get what you pay for. The $29.95 at Wall Mart will not hold up. Jerseyhunter is right, if you leave them in the trunk they will most likley get punctured. Even the best waders need some care!!! A lot of people I fish with like Hodgeman and have had them for 10 or more years. I have Orvis and they are junk, so cost isn' t everything.

I' ve never even though of my stuff getting messed up ' cause I left it in the trunk of my car. I guess I' ll have to clean it out. When it' s ten dollar zebco rigs you won' t exactly be hurtin, but no need to waste a rig that' s workin. The main reason I want to stay away from rubber is ' cause I had a pair a few years ago, used them twice, and hung them up in my gramp' s garage. I didn' t stuff ' em though and they dry rotted and cracked. But I don' t want to have to go pick them up at his garage every time I want to fish and figured the neoprene wouldn' t crack like rubber. But hey, two birds with one stone. Thanks.
