What PFD do you like?

Tried a few but the Stohlquist Fisherman PFD worked best for me.  The fit was right and very comfortable.  Clips for radio, knife attachments and zip pockets for the other fishing accessories.

- JB

+ 4 - carries a lot of stuff, comfortable and easy to self rescue. One of the top 3 IMHO. Used mine for 5 years and still works great. Etienne uses one also. Check out any kayak fishing magazine and you will see them. Enough said.

Kokatat Bahia Tour - in that color!

 

....this a good reminder to all. PFD's, sooner or later need to be replaced. I'm getting myself a new one as well.

Good move Chad 

I wish I had read  this information before buying my PFD with the giant pockets on front. Great in theory, but they are in the way more than they help. They also obscure my view a bit when I'm seated. Gonna be looking for a new PFD now. With more trial and error, I guess this great thing will improve even more.

Dan at the Headwaters may have some in stock. He might even hook you up with a great NCKA deal.

Trace, I recommend you get a women's specific PFD. These PFD's usually have more panels up front for "booby comfort" 

Here are a few options....

I have the stohlquist BetSea in the shop, it's the pink one they made to benefit breast cancer for $119.

Thanks for all of the leads! ...seems I should try on a few more this weekend.  I will model it at GS6   

Trace, another thing you might to consider is make sure you get a mesh back...
