LINK [{%22f%22:%22Category%22,%22vs%22:[%22Life%20Jackets%22]}]}" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer">company that bought Austin Canoe & Kayak

I went to search for ACK (Austin Canoe & Kayak) and found they went out of business or got bought out by this company. They've got several paddling vests on sale, not necessarily fishing paddling vests but still good ones.

Wife and daughter have Stohlquist vests, I have a fishing vest from Bass Pro - Ascend IIRC, son has a Coleman we picked up somewhere cheap.

A number of people in this thread must be trying to get nominated for the Darwin Award.

Thanks for this. If you sign up as a new customer you get an additional 15%. I got the fishing kayak one.

Yeah my float coat is red and covered with reflecting tape. I mainly use it Sept and Oct so I am wanting to pick up a camo one this year. Right now I have a double XL camo pullover I use with it.

Does anyone know of any incidents where someone had to use an auto-inflate and it actually saved them?


I've heard of 5 drift boats going down over the last few months and no one died so there are incidents happening.

I'm ASSuming a lot on their style of pfd but most drift fishermen around my parts use the auto inflate.

Mustang elite 28. Like others have said, I wear it almost the entire time I am fishing.
