pack $65

perfect companion for a travel-
ing angler. It packs down to the

ounces, and holds all the necessi-
ties while you’re on the water.
G. Patagonia x Danner Foot
Tractor wading boots $499
These boots, jointly developed
by Patagonia and Danner, are as
comfortable out of the box as
your favorite worn-in hikers and
built to last for decades. They’re
also wide, so you feel stabler on
your feet, and the stitch-down
construction means they can be
resoled when the time comes.
H. Rio DirectCore
Flats Pro line $120
This may be the perfect saltwater
fly line. It retains its stiffness in
muggy heat, lies flat on the water
without curling, and has three
distance-marking colors.
I. Costa WaterWoman

Good luck casting for fish you
can’t see. The WaterWoman fits
nicely under the brim of a hat,
and the lenses reduce glare so
you have an easier time spotting
your target.
J. Sage Spectrum Max reel $500
No more guessing where you set
your drag in the middle of fighting
a saltwater game fish. The Spec-
trum Max’s easily visible numbers
tell you at a glance.
