7mm is too restrictive for paddling. I used to wear 3mm before switching to drysuit and never going back.

Completely agree, angler drysuits are pricey but keep you warm and dry with the right layering.

The NRS Champion Jacket comes with neoprene wrist gaskets. I own one and really like them.
The neoprene gaskets prevents water going to your arms. Not as waterproof as latex but good enough. This me wearing one. https://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=101802.0

It's a good looking jacket. Unfortunately I cannot return my jacket and I want to learn how to replace the gasket hehe.

What jacket do you own?

I have a kokotat tempest jacket. I really like the jacket except the latex gasket.

I have a Tempest Jacket too. I haven't used it since I started using the NRS Champion Jacket, which is IMO better designed for kayak fishing.

General Talk / Re: Sunglasses that I highly recommend

Biggest problem I have is keeping them clear of salt water. I need them to see my fish finder. Need transiton readers. Always switching between sunglasses and reading glasses.

My Costco prescription sunglasses have progressive lenses. Good for distance, intermediate and reading viewing. Works great for outdoor conditions.

This is good info about sunglasses. I wear prescription glasses and checked their prices, seems if I use Costco Optical for prescription sunglasses, price is better.

Sweet, thanks for the advice!

I think I am on the right path - I ordered 10lb braid and 6lb flouro for leader.

Ordered a couple more lures and have some rudder lines to fix on the kayak too - should be all buttoned up in a few days and ready to hit the water again next week. Looking forward to trying out some new stuff.

Now, if I could just get the fish to cooperate...

I use 10lb floro. Figure the lure creating drag specially with deep diving lures and the chance of hooking a 10 lber.
