Before the dawn of the kayak fishing movement, people fished from canoes. MTI was one of the first manufacturers to combine a fly fishing vest with a paddlesports life jacket. Called the "Sportsman's Vest", it had 4 pockets for holding fishing reels and a tackle box. Today's Fisher SE offers 8 gear pockets with reinforced drainage holes, D-rings front and back, and a handy Pin-on Retractor Holder for attaching accessories. 300D Polyester shell, reflective trim, and PVC-free foam.
