Common questions
More answers at our full FAQ page.
When will my rod ship?
Most models ship from stock within 1–3 business days. If a model is on backorder, we typically ship within 2–4 weeks.
How does bamboo fish compared to graphite?
Bamboo loads differently. It flexes into the cast rather than snapping through it. Most graphite anglers notice the difference within a few casts: slower tempo, better feel at short distances, more feedback on the drift. It's not harder to cast. It's different — and most people don't go back.
What is Direct Price?
We sell direct. No dealers, no distributors, no middlemen. Direct Price passes the dealer markup back to you. Apply DIRECT30 at checkout for 30% off the listed price.
What if it's not for me?
Fish it for 30 days. Cast it, take it on the water, really use it. If it's not the right fit, contact us for a free return label. No restocking fee.

Product Features
Here's our new hip waders and they're hipster! Do you really need a full chest wader? There are many instances on the stream where an angler just needs to get to knee or thigh deep and where a heavy, fussy chest wader is kind of overkill.
We designed the Bugaboo Hipster wader as a throwback to the old days of fly fishing in hip waders. But of thoroughly modern materials.
- Made of lightweight three layer breathable waterproof fabric
- 4mm neoprene stocking foot
- Gravel guard with boot clip
- Easy to attached beltloop clip
- Comes in small, medium, large, and extra large.
