My waders get a lot of use during the year. I chose these Camo Frog Togg waders<\/a> so that I could use them both during the hunting and fishing seasons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They’re warm, flexible and do everything that I expect of them. The only problem is they’re so darn expensive. That’s why throughout the years I’ve perfected my cleaning and maintenance schedule to maximize their life. Taking care of your fishing waders will save you a lot of money in the long run. The key to Don’t just toss your waders in the corner after a long day of fishing. I know how tempting that can be, but waders that are tossed in the corner will quickly suffer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You’d be amazed at how many little scrapes, nicks, punctures and abrasions they’ll get just laying around your garage. Plus any residual moisture is going to quickly invite mildew to join the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mildew and other unwelcome flora and fauna will be a recipe for stink. Do yourself a favor and Hang up your waders the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We spend all that cash on our hunting and fishing One day a guy walks into the store, buys a brand new Beretta Over\/Under and tells me he doesn’t think it’s really necessary to clean his gun. That type of thinking always blew my mind. If you’re going to spend the money on something nice you need to properly maintain it(maybe that’s because I was always broke).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do yourself a favor and buy a wader rack to hang in your garage. I’ve tried a few different racks over the years and really like the Allen Boot and Wader Hanger<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It works great for my size 12’s, but my fathers size 13’s are a tight squeeze. For his boots I boot the SAMSFX Boot Hanger<\/a> and it does the job. Actually bought a couple of these for off season storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the No matter how tight the fit, some amount of water is going to get into your wading shoes. Some people don’t really mind putting on wet If you’re like me and need dry wading shoes the only solution is a circulating boot dryer. I use the DRYGUY Boot dryer<\/a> and it’s absolutely amazing. Even after the fishing\/hunting season I use it for my work boots and winter gloves. Leave it on overnight and they’re dry by morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite trying your best to keep your waders in shape you will eventually get a puncture. Lucky for you they have repair kits designed to repair holes and punctures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
