chiasson Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Was hoping someone could recommended one for general FF needs. I had a bit of a close call recently and am looking to invest in an angling specific, i.e., low profile, neutral color PFD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ÜberFly Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Carter, This is the one I invested in (Mustang). I primarily wear it in the winter when fishing off of ice shelves or during the summer fishing from a pontoon... Not necessarily "angling specific" but low profile ( I can wear it under a vest - when I wore a vest). It's expensive, but worth it in my opinion (I mean, how much is your life worth?!)... P P.S. Another benefit with this design is that you can get them in a variety of colors (including some neutral ones - mine is the black/grey. When inflated, however they are all bright yellow = highly visible). Also, be careful not to buy used or "on sale" (Craigslist, Kijiji, etc.) I noticed when I was 1st researching them, someone had a bunch of discontinued models for sale and when I googled that specific model, they had been recalled!!

SilverDoctor Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Have the same one, use it in winter but the wife is now insists I wear one now when fishing alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murray Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I also use the same one. Mine is navy blue on the outside but they all have a bright yellow bladder when inflated. I generally use mine when I float down the river but useing it while wading is a good idea. Murray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricinus Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I picked up a Nautilus brand from Canadian Tire. I got the manual inflating, but if I did it again I'd get the Automatic. Regards Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayhad Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 The mustang is the same ones i have in my boat, I got mine in green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonAndersen Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Guys, Wife has Nautilus & I've got Mustang. Now for the good part. Both are built in Canada. Both are available in CDN stores Both are DOT approved. The SOS suspenders and things that Cabellas sells are not DOT approved and cannot be used legally in Canada. And now for the Best part. DOT Approval trumps the US Coast Guard Approval. We can wear Mustang and Nautilus in the US but they can't use their stuff here. regards, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
