toys for me

This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

toys for me

Post by fishin loon »

Just want to say hey people hope everyone is doing well.

My name is Paul and my wife said I could buy a new winter suit and a underwater camera. So here's my question? What is the best suit to buy if your a 4X? I would like to use it in the spring and fall and the camera I know there is not to many manufactures but is there a camera for both summer and winter or is there one for each season. Also is there a good place to buy both price wise.

Thanks for the info

Hey Paul,

I've found that the survival suits that are made big are also made for tall people. The largest I've seen is 3X (I believe it was Ice Armor) and 2X in the Helly Hansen. The suit fits, but the arms and legs are way too long (or my arms and legs are way too short at 5'3").

As for the cameras, I've used ours in the summer and winter. Right now we have a Marcum, last year was Atlantis or something like that. One of the problems you'll have (summer or winter) is that you need your surroundings to be very dark in order to see the screen clearly - it's like watching tv in the sunlight - you can't see much. Easy in the winter when you're in an ice hut.

The suit I am looking at is the Clam Corporation Ice Armor Suit. Its about the only one I can find in 4x. I would also like the camera from the same place if I could.

Sounds great Paul. One thing concerns me though, the wife is actually, letting you? Do you have any idea what the payback will have to be?
:lol:

I'd be afraid, be very afraid. :lol:

That's not the best guys she bought US a almost new Envoy to tow my boat to bigger and better lakes. BUT here's the glitch I told her the suit and camera would be around 2-3 hundred now I have to sneak into her purse get my Balls and tell her it may cost more. I might see yas people.
And I try to use my stroke as an excuse she says after she slaps me up no one will be able to tell. Just kidding she is a great girl but shes got a small purse.

I will be seeing ya
