This rig was the answer to my wade fishing problems. Pros: 1. The slim, vertical design allows more arm movement and I can get more casts in a day for power fishing. 2. Built in stringer holder is a blessing. It solved a major issue I was having. Plus, I feel better knowing I can throw the stringer away quickly if a shark decides to attack my fish. 3. Being able to hold a 3500 of your choice is nice, plenty of water proof or sealed options on the market. 4. Breathable mesh in hot/humid Texas conditions is excellent. 5. Buckle and strap system is intuitive, no struggling to adjust. 6. Comes with a 3500 tray for terminal and a tiny water proof box (I use it for my car key), glad they included it as a nice touch! 7. D-Ring at the bottom of the rig is great for wading net or fish grips access, well thought out there 👍🏻 Personal issues with the rig: 1. The rod holder just doesn't make sense. I get what they were going for but I get more rod security when I place the rod between the rig and my chest. I would personally get rid of the rod holder BUT KEEP THE D-RING!! The D-Ring there makes sense without the rod holder there!! 2. I don't understand the D-Ring on the back harness? I want to use it but I don't get their intentions. Would love to know how to utilize it! 3. The large pocket closest to you is a super snug fit for the 3500 trays (which I find odd). I'd make both front and back large pouches the same size so they fit the 3500 tray fairly without cramming it? The front pouch is perfect for the 3500 tray (as they probably designed it that way 👍🏻) Overall, great design and will buy again in the future IF it fails. Thanks!
