Default Aldi ... waders!

As I'm sure you are all aware Aldi sell some crazy stuff from time to time.

I had some waders on order with lots of other stuff but got a phone call today to say they were out of stock and they won't be getting anymore in.

Then I remembered that a friend had told yesterday that Aldi were selling waders .... yeah right.

ALDI - Sunday Special Buys 30th May 2010

Just nipped out a bought a pair. They look really quite well made but I guess time will tell.

Just thought it may be of interest to others.

Cheers

Mike

PS don't forget the stick on beard and dark glasses if you go to Aldi... you never know, friends or neighbors could spot you

I bought them a couple of seasons ago and they are fine but left in the garage for a year, they soon went off..............................the only time I use them is the annual Airflo Final at Elinor and last year's pictures by Cliff Waters shows exactly what they were like then

I met a guy fishing on Sunday that had bought one for his son. I had a wiggle off it - it has a foam handle, is pretty heavy and very thick (looked more like my cheap rod for mackeral spinning) but the kid was doing fine with and catching a few fish so how bad! (it's a 6-8# by the way)

Aye, it's no ZXL, but at £17.99 if it gets youngsters into the game can only be a good thing.

Other the year I’ve had a couple of pairs of Aldi waders and they seen to last better than the Shakespeare pair I used to have.

In fact the pair I bought last year is in a very good condition, and I’ll get another year for sure out of them.

They have a very good cut on the top of the thighs unlike lots of more expensive makes which can be very tight. (I have rugby player legs!!)

The only problem is that they seem to sell very fast.

This time I bought a couple of the nets so I could take one of them apart and use the net to replace my old one on the Seat Trout ‘D’ net. The good thing about these nets is that they have a flat bottom and are good for supporting any fish when catching and releasing.

For £6.99 it was cheaper that getting hold of a separate net which tend to be sold as a conical shape giving very little support to fish.

The second net I will use for boat fishing as it has a very long handle, so I can net fish further away from the boat.

Dyl.
