How do I fix a rip in the neoprene booties of my chest waders?
Jan 05, 2007 by poolesvillegc | Posted in Fishing
I have a 1" hole in the heel portion of the bootie. Is there a way to fix them, or am I out of luck?
A rubber silicone may be need with a patch. I usually replace mine with a new one.
Mine ripped right at the knee area.
Let me tell you a story how wearing those things froze my butt off.
I went fishing in the Winter and waded in about 4 feet of water Bass fisghing and I was catching them too. Id decided to walk out a little bit further and I stepped off a ledge underwater and dropped. All the water rushed in slowly inside my waders. I struggled to get back on top of the ledge. When I did I immediately got out of the water and rushed back to my car.
The temperature 38 degrees.
I had to literally take aknife and cut muy waders to remove them becasuye the water was causing a suction and I couldn;t pull my feet out.\
Luckily I had a paoir of shorts in the Van, but no shirt.
I was literally shaking and going into hypothermia.
It was the last time I ever wnet fishing in the Winter wearing waders. Never again.

Get a tube of Liquid Nails Small Projects adhesive (clear) at Home Depot or Lowes. This dries water proof. Coat some rubber or heavy plastic with it, smack it on tight, and leave some weight on it until it sets up, like a day for max strength. If you dont have plastic or rubber, coat some heavy cloth with it, and the cloth with give it strength so it won't retear, and it will still be water proof. If the color is a good match, it won't look obvious. This stuff is quite strong. I use it also to build up the heels on my running shoes when they wear down.

silicon sealant will do the trick. Any outdoor shop will have it. clean w/ alcohol rub w/ sandpaper and apply......... never had a hole that big though

Where to find nylon chest waders for a big guy.?
Jun 02, 2007 by Robert B | Posted in Fishing
I am a big guy (6' 3" and about 320 lbs) and am looking for a place online or in the Dayton, Cincinnati or Columbus Ohio area where I can find I pair of nice nylon chest waders that will fit for a reasonable price (Under $120 or so). Another concern is that I have large feet (size 14 wide) and need to ensure that they will fit and be comfortable. Also should I go with a booted waders or waders with booties and seperate boots. And dont recomend rubber or neoprene I used to have a pair of neoprene one and hated them because they were so dam hot.
Not sure if these would work. Waist 43"-46", inseam 33"-34" plus auction ends Jun-03-07 14:28:15 PDT. Probably too short?

You may have already done this, but look online at cabelas.com. they usually have everything and usually buying online will provide you with a better selection being as how stores don't stock special items like that.

Deal or no deal? Chest Waders?
Jan 13, 2009 by just wonderin | Posted in Fishing
I would like to get my husband a pair of neoprene chest waders. Would a pair of Pro Line felt soled waders be a deal at $55.00? How do they hold up? Any other suggestions??
These will be brand new in the box. I know someone who sells, shoes, boots, etc.
That's a good deal. Brand new Pro Line waders sell for around $80-$100.
(In my opinion), Neoprene waders work well for waters between 50 degree's -70 degree's.
Colder water requires a better Goretex "dry" stocking-foot wader with a good boot.
Hope this helps?
