work is what i do to remind me of why i do the things i do for fun....
seasons greetings everyone!!!!!!!!!!!
been a while since i have been on the site,between raising my boss at work and raising my daughters at home , time is a sort of a fluid non-existence. i have gone on to putting books on CD onto my mp3 player to feel a little less a slacker.
hope all is good w/ everyone , bit of wet weather to the east and now the west, good time to buy an umbrella , if not a boat.
well now to the nitty gritty, i am wondering if anyone has any opinion (good/bad) or experiance with the Cadence cd-1000u head unit. seems pretty stout but better to burn my ear than burn my money.keeping in mind this would be used as a daily driver rather than a competition setup.
as always its great to hear from everyone, many thanks in advance, for any and all help.

That HU has some pretty intelligent features. The AUX/MP3 and USB inputs are there and a solid 3 pair of RCA's too. (6 volts) Am sure one can integrate an I-Pod as well.
The EQ features may be the weakest link here. These appear to be fixed presets and no mention of other menu driven "Custom EQ" setting in the basic blurb sheet:

Cadence has been around a long time and even though they are not a huge mane in the US market, they do have a solid core in the UK. It would be nice to review a manual on this HU just to see what features are available and how to use them optimally.

Will do on the flies. The pre-winter fishing here is very spotty and poor to date. Many of the rivers are very low and the water temps are too high to get them in to spawn. The salmon, steelies and browns are huddling up at the mouth of main run rivers and if we get enough rain, sleet or snow, they'll come in later this month and in January. (Normally, they begin the run in late September - November. However, this year is a different scenario altogether. (A very late run is predicted)
We had near drought conditions this summer and now a late surge of rain is filling up the rivers and smaller lakes to almost normal conditions again. (A little late this year, but who knows.... during Christmas break might be a good time to wet a line after a few hours driving)
Our summer season was OK in terms of fish bagged. Not as many larger fish as in years past, but lots of large pans, a few river walleye and some decent small and largemouth bass were bagged. In all, not a stellar season, but the extra practice paid off when conditions were favorable.

PS Need some new waders too. I wore out the last pair in 2.5 seasons and one boot leaks like seive. (Sole has worn thin) Cold water and a wet foot are not fun combinations. They were not that expensive though and with all the use, I guess that's to be expected. Will be looking at all weather breathables for my next pair and have a very robust lug sole too.

That's just it... I am picky and hard to fit with long legs, med/long torso and need a pair that can take the terrain we fish in.
18 months of serious fishing in 3.5mm Neoprenes in cool water was good. But in the summer heat, I baked like a lobster in them. After 3 hours of fishing in 85 degree air and 75 degree water temps, am drenched to the bone. (Sweat and wicking water)
Neoprene holds heat well, but these Gander Mountain Guide Series waders are not worth the $85.00. My brother bought a pair too and his leaked after 3 outings. His boots look brand new, but a leak in 3 outings is not acceptable. He went back to his Red Ball waders of 5 years and they still look and feel great.
One other thing I have noted about neoprenes... they wick water a lot. After a few hours of wading, they weigh a lot more than when dry. Ya don't notice that in the water. But when walking out and hiking half a mile back to the car... it's very noticable. (Adds maybe 15 lbs)
Am willing to "invest" good money in a pair that is good in both cool and warmer conditions too. I expect 4-6 years life from them and $30.00/yr is a fair trade if they last, don't leak and good in cool to hot weather conditions.

PS Like most things in life, the good stuff does not come cheap. But if they last, are well built and can take the punishment our river systems offer, then it's a good investment.
