Re: [VFB] Suggestions for PFD?

2016-05-29 Thread Neville Gosling 
Hi Pete:
I have a similar problem in that I am a brittle (unstable) diabetic hooked
up to an insulin pump 24/7 & my doctor does not want me to fish without a
friend especially when wading. This does restrict me as my former fishing
partners have either moved a long distance away or quit fishing.

Regarding a 4xl pfd have you considered an auto inflate model? Not
particularly cheap but less restrictive than a standard pfd. One cannot
afford to be cheap when your life is at stake.

check out http://www.cabelas.com.  They may have exactly what you want and
they have good quality. My PFD (since I don't swim) is a CO2 one, but that
would not be appropriate for you. Joyce

[VFB] Suggestions for PFD?

2016-05-26 Thread Pete Gramp 
So here's the deal.  I have epilepsy, have had roughly 0 (good days) to 6
(obviously bad days) seizures a day for the past countless months, and the
neurologist says the only way he'll let me fish is from shore, and even
then, with a "good" PFD (personal flotation device) and with another person
present.  I could always ignore the doc, but I'm not the type to risk
that.  Kinda stinks, especially since I'm a "big boned" and 6 foot 6 inch
tall guy... finding a PFD my size has been difficult.  Anyone have
suggestions for a "good" PFD on the cheap, preferably that doesn't restrict
casting, but cheap comes first, for a US size 4XL?
I get it, I'm big... no I don't play basketball, nor mini golf. But I do
fly fish. :)

Any suggestions on PFDs welcome,
-Pete
