Input Wanted on good comfortable rainsuit & New Walleye Rig

[vikingmeatwad]

I just have a crappy yellow suit now and want a better one.

I also want a good rod for walleyes as i am still using a very old quantum combo that I've had for liek 10 yrs.

I do have 2 gander mtn coupons so I would like to go there.

Thanks!!

i bought a frog tog suit this spring. We were out on the lake fishing while it was pouring and i was completely comfortable in this suit. It breathes well without letting rain through.

Another vote for Frogg Toggs... I have 2 set and love them!!!

As for the rod... It really depends on how you fish and how much you want to spend... I have a 7' Compre med action rod with a Shimano Straddic that I like for walleye fishing. Works as a rigging rod and a jigging rod quite well. Its a little light for pulling spinners or bigger cranks.

I got a set of Frogg Toggs last week and can't wait to give them a try. Well, I guess I'd prefer it if it didn't rain, but I'm hoping that this will be the next best thing

Thanks guys, I will check out frogg toggs as they sound very nice.

Would they be warm enough for the cooler weather for canada or up north for when it's colder?

Frogg Toggs are very thin, so you'd have to wear insulation under them. I think they'll be great for the summer, though.

I have a set of Gander Mtn. Guide Series Raingear. It is best in cooler weather. Works great except if it is hot.

I have a pair of Frog Toggs and they are fairly decent, light weight, and cheap. I find them OK for warm weather but I'm not a big fan of their cut (legs pinch on me), not bad over shorts but too restrictive when worn over a more substantial pant. My normal rain gear are from Filson, which are much better (way more $$$), have a much better fit, work well with layering, and work from somewhat warm days (80's) to fairly cold. Of course the plethora of Gortex gear is great also, at similar prices.
