The Taku is well suited for the inshore environment across multiple marine activities.

Angler’s insight:

Look, when it comes to staying dry and comfortable while enjoying your time off on the lake, the last thing you want to worry about is if your rain gear will hold up. The Taku series handles both jobs nicely, and will keep you out there longer, which means more fish. Can’t put a price on that.
