USED might be the way to go at first. But the time will come when you realize YOUR LIFE might depend on it. If it is not comfortable you will not wear it and when your life depends on it, you won't have it on. Tight Lines.

I purchased one about 8 years ago at Walmart, strapped it on tight, tested in the water, kept me afloat, didn't shift around, and I still use it every time I go out. It's comfortable, safe, and it cost $20. I won't go on the water without it. You might want to venture out with someone who has experience, just to show you the ropes. Safety first is the key.

I wear a NRS Chinook which is quite comfortable. I wear it every time and completely forget that it is even there. It'll cost over a hundred bucks, but I feel like it's worth the money. I'd recommend spending your money on the necessities first before venturing into stuff like a bait tank.

OEX has a great starter bait tank. I made one just like it for about the same price minus gas, glue, and my time.
My first PFD was a cheapo 15 dolla special just to fulfill the law requirement. Eventually ended up with a Stolhquist that I actually wear and stuff the pockets with. Andy posted up some affordable Cracka Dawn PFDs here, not sure if any left but hit him up... http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...ad.php?t=27864
