Korkers Vs. Studded boots?

I was looking into getting a pair of Korkers before I head to western NC to do some trout fishing. Last time i was there it was slippery as heck! Those felt soles on my wading boots did nothing. I was looking for any feedback as far as how good Korkers are campared to a pair of good studded wading boots? My boots are about shot anyway so was thinking if i got a good pair of stuuded boots i could save on getting both the korkers and new boots. But i want the BEST traction i can get. so if korkers give me better grip then i'll get them and the boots. Ugh, so many choices! Just looking for some opinions. Thanks guys

I've got the LLBean studded felt boots and the studs are good for slimey rocks, but you'll still want the korkers for anywhere there's weed.

I would think the studs would be better for trout fishing.

Thats what i was thinking to Spence....I think the Korkers are prob the best bet for all around traction. My firend has a pair of LL bean studded boots also and he still falls on his arse every now and then. I'll play it safe and go with the Korkers I guess. And wait till me boots totally Sh^# the bed before i get new ones Although a new pair of LL Bean boots with go nice with my LL bean west branch waders! Nah, i better wait....im not made of money!
