UPGRADE YOUR KIT WITH
WELL-MADE ESSENTIALS
BY NICK KELLEY AND JEN RIPPLE
A. Simms Freestone Stockingfoot
waders $280
The four-layer construction is tough
enough for scrambling through bushes
on the approach but sufficiently
breathable for midsummer heat.B. Hatch Outdoors 9 Plus Gen 2
Finatic reel $800
The nightmare of all saltwater anglers:
equipment failure just when you’re
about to land a lunker. This reel can run
heavier lines and has a water- resistant
drag system, so it won’t let you down.C. Sage Spectrum LT reel $375
The Spectrum’s aerospace-grade
aluminum frame and sealed-carbon
drag system are strong enough to stop
anything in fresh water, while its large
knob makes for easy handling.D. Howler Brothers Aguacero
jacket $199
If the forecast looks questionable,
reach for the Aguacero. This 2.5-layer
shell takes up minimal space in your
pack but will keep you dry in a deluge.E. Lululemon After the Wave
hoodie $108
Light and quick drying, with side vents
and generous stretch, Lululemon’s new
layer is ideal sun protection.F. Gerber Magniplier Salt pliers $85
This tool can help with everything from
rigging rods to releasing fish, thanks to
carbide cutters and an offset design.G. Tacky Fly Fishing Flydrophobic
SD box $35
What’s more annoying than having your
flies rust? Lined with an eVent mem-
brane, the Flydrophobic keeps water out
but lets vapor escape, so flies dry inside.H. Smith Comeback sunglasses $169
The polarized ChromaPop lenses cut
glare coming off the water, and the
lightweight frames go unnoticed during
long days on the boat.I. Fishpond Thunderhead Submersible
pouch $100
When you need only a little storage,
hook this waterproof pouch to your belt
or waders and you’re good to go.J. Korkers Devil’s Canyon boots $200
These boots have interchangeable
soles that let you match your traction
to the terrain: use rubber for the hike in,
then switch to felt for wading.MEN’S^ KI
