My favorite pants were, up until this past week, a pair of columbia convertible pants with large cargo pockets on the sides. Fish loved them, I loved them, only problem I ever had was when a bag of lures would dislodge themselves from the cargo pocket and I'd look back and see a package of soft plastics floating off on a leeward course.
I've lost those pants, and I'm looking for new ones to replace them. What do you guys use?
Only stipulation, they probably can't have zipper pockets.
i use some columbia water resistant pants and a lacorda threads belt. Its a thick shoelace belt that was made for skateboarders but it works great in the water too. regular shoelaces are too thin and short and the knots dont adjust or come untied easily.
I wear the patagonia guidewater pants and they're the best I've ever owned. They aren't convertible but that's why I bought them. They're really light weight, breathable and dry really quickly. I've worn them for almost 3 years now and they're still going as strong as ever.
Gotta wear long pants in case you get into the hot jellies. I've been wearing the Columbia convertibles, but the last pair I bought wasn't sized right and is too long. Probably going to try out Simms or Patagonia next.
dark blue jeans taped at the bottom so crabs and small fish dont go up my leg . . jellyfish cant sting through them , sharks think your just another pier piling .
I hate to disagree with you, but I think sharks have such preternatural sensory ability that if they could stand up and talk, they could probably tell you how much plaque you have in your blood stream, or what your imminent ailments might be, based on the frequencies your blood telegraphs as it pumps through you, while you're standing there talking to the man in the grey suit.
Sharks bite through full wet suits all the time. I used to wade in board shorts and vans. Don't get out of the boat much anymore. Too lazy and catch all the fish I want from my boat.
Peter pan pants from academy. They fit tight, don't flap or drag in the water. These are the workout tights. I usually wear a med to large but buy them XL because I don't need or like the compression. I put a pair of shorts on over so it does not look so fairy like.
I don't find much I like about Bass Pro but their technical fishing pants are the best for wet wading. A tad bit more rugged then Magellan and faster drying than most brands I have found.
Thanks, I like these. Have you found they run small or true to size? I would normally wear a large in swim trunks but find nylon pants like this to be tight in the thigh.
After this thread from last year I've been watching for some Patagonias on ebay and finally bought some. Then for some dumb reason, I fished the surf on Mothers day and decided to wear shorts and got smoked by a jellyfish. The tentacles got wrapped around my leg. I guess I'll get to test them out later.
That's what I did, bought some Patagonias off Ebay and a couple of Magellans from Academy. The Magellans have more pockets but I like the fit of the Patagonias better.
