As for why some tall people have trouble getting the ankle gaskets over their feet, I can testify: being 6'3" I come outfitted with size 13's, so as not to tip over. Size 13's are not easy to find shoes or boots for, let alone get latex ankle gaskets over. As to that, I took a tip from a wreck diver buddy and carry a tiny container of talcum powder (you can buy the mini- sample bottles at most pharmacies and discount stores). I talc my feet and ankles, hands and wrists, as well as the inside of the gaskets, to help put the suit on, then when taking it off do it again, or just wipe some onto the outside of the gasket. When you roll it down it'll contact your skin and make quite a difference. As to the fishing question, we carry a rod holder in the shop that clamps onto the coaming or a canoe gunwale, if you can't find it nearby drop me a line.
