Hi Don. Welcome to this board.

Anybody have a pair of the above or know what they are like ?
I am thinking of getting a pair.

The other question is what type of sole might be best, cleated/studded or felt. I will not be fishing rivers, mainly sea and the occasional hill loch in Scotland when on my hols.

Many thanks.

Hi All Being relatively new to this but getting keen, we are starting to get a reasonable amount of kit and need a good way of keeping and transporting it. What do you guys use?
