Best Fishing Boots
Fishing boots are an impartant part of every angler’s gear especially in the Northeast. Anglers must weight several factors when selecting the best fishing boots. Rubber boots are the most common and are available in various heights and with/without insulation. The differences in price are typically tied to the overall quality of the boot, the insulation (lining), and insoles. Insoles are important as most anglers spend countless hours standing. Some anglers buy less expensive boots and simply replace the insoles.
