#1 SIMMS STOCKINGFOOT GORTEX WADERS
It’s no secret that the name Simms has long been synonymous with manufacturing the highest quality wading products on the market today. While performance and reliability have never been an issue, the Simms Lightweight Gore-Tex Stockingfoot Wader also offers one of the best dollar values in the flyfishing industry. These waders are constructed entirely of Gore-Tex wader fabric, offer reinforced lamination, and are totally DEET and saltwater resistant. The waders are designed to be lightweight and packable, and come complete with nylon wading belt, repair kit, and built in suspenders. Considering it was our top-selling product for 2001, with the new lower retail, we would anticipate another landmark sales year for 2002. Available in sizes S-XXL, color is Sterling.

#2 ORVIS IGFA MIRAGE TIPPET SPOOLS
There are many companies peddling fluorocarbon tippet products however Orvis Mirage is simply the best. This exceptional fluorocarbon leader material is made from PVDF, not nylon, and is less visible in the water, sinks quicker, and is more abrasion-resistant, which makes it superior for saltwater fishing. It has excellent UV-resistance and will not absorb water under any condition. The refraction index makes it virtually invisible to fish. Contrary to other brands, Orvis Mirage has superior overhand knot strength and a specific gravity of 1.76, which makes for ease of breaking surface tension and getting below the surface for nymphing and eliminating surface shadow for dries. Mirage comes in stackable spools that snap together for convenience. Available in IGFA 2,4,6,8,12,16,20-lb. test.

#3 RENZETTI CAM TRAVELER VISE
While Renzetti On-Line Rotary Vises have been popular for a number of years now, the Cam Series Traveler Vise is the culmination of two years of development and testing. This latest addition to the Renzetti family features a new set of cam operated jaws that enables infinite adjustment. Minimal pressure on the lever holds the hook rock steady and your tying sequence is never compromised by unwanted hook movement. The Traveler Series Vises will fulfill the demands of the most fastidious tiers. While the standard Cam Traveler accommodates hooks from 28 to 4/0, its saltwater cousin will handle hooks from 4 to 8/0, and comes complete with a spinning attachment and material clip. All Travelers must be ordered in either right or left hand configuration.

#5 SAGE 990 RPLXi AND 990-3 RPLXi FLY RODS
Is faster rod action necessarily better? This question can only be answered through an investigation of one’s own personal preference. Those anglers that are seeking an easy casting, high performance saltwater rod, that excels in all conditions, however, need look no further. These Sage 9’-9wt rods offer quicker loading properties, better loop control and a connected feel throughout the casting stroke, making them an ideal choice for both wader and boat angler. Once a fish is hooked, these rods also offer tremendous leveraging and lifting capabilities. The demand for RPLXi series rods this year, at times, left us in a lurch for product, an event that we will definitely remedy in the year 2001. Sage and RPLXi is the standard by which all big-game fly rods are judged. Available in line weights 5-14. All rods are appointed with oversized guides, anodized aluminum reel seats, cork fighting butts and EVA foam butt caps.
