Why I wear gumboots.

I am often asked why I wear gumboots all the time, so I made a video explaining the positives of wearing gumboots fishing all year round.

glad you posted this Robbie, i wear my snow boots when fishing ,alot of my fishing mates think im nuts but i tell you ,coming within inches of a huge tiger wearing sandals is a real eye opener . mine are exactly the same as gumboots only the material is softer and their completely waterproof and the best part ,ive trudged to some spots on the local "creek" where noone else has or can due to the scrub UP THE MIGHTY BLUNNIES

Sorry to hear of the demise of your loyal fishing companions but you have replaced them without tears! My thigh waders, that served me for many years gave up the ghost half way through the last Victorian trout season. I've since worn a pair of Blundstone gumboots on all my fishing trips and have to agree that they are great fishing footwear. Occasionally I wear a pair of canvas and rubber jungle boots when I wade in the warmer months but they dont give the snake and blackberry protection that the gumboots do. I'm looking forward to the trout season opening in a few weeks time. Haven't fished in the NE since I was a kid when we often camped and fished on the Kiewa River. Must drive up that way this season. Cheers, Steve.

brilliant just brilliant. in the UK we call gumboots: wellies or Wellington boots. in the last few years Australian and New Zealand gumboots have been come available to the UK market on the Internet. which is quite nice I'm going to search the same pair you got. Bloodstone I think. thank you very much for posting this nice enjoyable video.

Hey Andrew, thank you for your kind words. Sorry about the late reply. I get a bit "snowed under" at times. long live the Blundstone Wellington. LOL All the best mate.

HAHA Thanks mate, your toes will be protected!! The biggest problem i find with work boots is that once they've been wet they shrink and cause blisters next time you wear them!! The olf gumboots just stay the same shape!!
