Last weekend after getting back from fishing, I was cleaning my waders and boots and I realized how well my Patagonia boots have held up. I have used two other brands of wading boots and they have not nearly held up to the level that my Patagonia ones are currently doing. My other two boots were pretty shot after one year and these Patagonias are on their third year and they really don't look too much different than they did after a few weeks of use.
This got me thinking, I wonder what other gear is the "most reliable/dependable" for other fly fishing anglers.
I am not saying that my boots are my favorite piece of gear (my favorite is my Loop fly rod) it's just that I am impressed with how well they perform - they aren't cracking, the felt is still in great shape, the stitching isn't fraying, they are just dang good boots!
So what is your most reliable/dependable piece of fly fishing gear? What tackle has impressed you the most after dealing with other inferior quality brands/models?
