Another bad review is a hardside rod case. Brand not named but price was $56.0] on sale.
Waste of dough. Obviously I'm not looking to stuff it at once with all them rods, but I take combo actions out together. You can't fit any rigged rod and reel set up and close the case. Defeats the purpose imo . Its bulky and adds weight for no reason.
I'd recommend on passing on any flat hard case.

Clam extreme ice bibs. Bought on super sale at going out of business Gander. Reg. Price at Gander was $239 got them for $79.  They are warm, and have good thick knee pads.  Waterproof and windproof so far. The bad is that the liners are not secured well and get turned inside out and get tangled easily. The seams on the liners are below  par and have ripped in several places already. The seams will be fixed with needle and thread or silicone and I will be more careful taking them off. 6/10 fish for a rating

I'm not such a clam products fan. Their lures have failed me with broken hooks. I know of some friends with their clothes and shelters that are disappointed , durability wise.

I like your rating of 0-10 Clint.
How long have you owned the bibs ? If short term and already doing repairs, I'd give it a 4 minus just based on price.
Most things that cost upwards of a twenty bill should work as disposable in a season.
But still working as intended.
When the price goes up so does the expectations.
I don't mind spending $50.00 on a pair of lined work pants that last a few years.
It hurts and I look elsewhere when something fails short.

Found this :
Open for discussion.

One thing I know is , wading boots do NOT convert to hunting or ice fishing boots and vice versa.

Korker lace on ( Velcro now ) cleats suck for ice fishing. Heavy and cumbersome.
I don't want heavy things on my feet when dragging a sled . The grip they do provide is unnecessary for the cost.
I put up some ice chain cleats at to the door cheap that work awesome and easy on, easy off.

Save some dough, buy smart .
I'm the dummy who bought everything 3 times over

Ps. Here they are but NOT for wading

I just use the rubber ones that pull over. Less than 10$ and give good traction Going on season 3 with the last pair.

I keep a pair of the rubber ones in the car, under the driver seat.  I bought them for ice fishing, but they have been lifesavers the last couple of autumns up in P-Town when the rain that was falling at 11 PM was sheet ice on all the paved surfaces at pre-dawn.  Without them, I would likely have taken some nasty falls.  They are too lightweight to use for traction on the river, I occasionally find the remnants of one that someone tried.  I got mine at all seasons, I'll be buying a couple of spares this year.  
 
I wish I had had the foresight to buy a few pairs of the old black Korkers when they were like 35 bux.  Yes they are heavy, but screwed to the boot heels with drywall screws, and the laces replaced with clothesline, they did the job on rocky stream bottoms.

   One thing I learned about the lace on Korkers is they aren't good on snow. Seems like they turn into down hill skies. I went down the hill at Ellis cover and almost in the river one February day. Big, bulky not something I want on my feet they haven't been on since.
