I have a relative who bought a complete fly outfit, but due to illness has decided to just stick to gear fishing.
He has brand new in the box, an Outcast Cruzer. New in the box Simms waders as well as a new pair of Simms wading boots....(size 11_
The Cruzer sells for $459.00 alone and he estimates he paid upwards of $400+ bucks for the boots and waders.
All this was bought in 2022.
$500 bucks and it's all yours. Let me know and I can put you in touch with him.
