I use the mustand 3 seasons top, find it very good but not great when its freezing ( wear 2 jumpers then)

plus dont want it to affect casting

The Imax smock is a cracker. Light, windproof and waterproof. I hear also the anyfish anywhere smock is just as good too.

have the older imax white squall myself and it does the job ok - but could be better, perhaps the new green and grey one is better though i havent seen many of them yet
personally i think the AA one is better than the white squall imax, plus iy folds down into small bulk
some dont like the titan ones as some have been prone to leaks, others love them, some say they are too warm for summer months
abu do a couple of different ones, i have one with a fly net built in to the hood, i find it fairly waterproof, apart from its not breathable and it sweats inside easily
if you want 100% waterproof it might be best to go for some of the more expensive sailing/yachting brands or something gill, helly hansen, henri lloyd, northface etc

hope this helps
