life jackets

[steppeydog]

high am thinking about buying a life jacket for my summer lure fishing as i tend to fish alone a lot on some remote shore rock marks was wondering what i should be looking for ie price amount of buoyancy i might need am 6 foot 2 and 17 stone and would it be ok to use if i am getting hit with the occasional wave as i dont want it going off if i get the odd soaking by waves or standing in the surf any help would be great cheers

the only advice i can give,is make sure you purchase one with a crutch strap possibly rnli would advise on requirements

With your size, i would go for a 150 NM +, auto inflation type, it will take splashing but will go off if submerged. Being on rocks and on your own, if..god forbid...you fall and are unconcious when you hit the water, you need it to inflate, and of course a crotch strap or it will just pop off over your head.....

Life jacket

Best advise I can give is do'nt fish from rocks by yourself, find a fishing friend,(any gender), and keep in sight of each other, you never see Henry Gilby fishing alone, do you. 150NM, pressure sensed, not the cheapest but the best. Good luck.
