Force Fins has adjustable fins. They fit over both wading boots and wetsuit booties.
What are you looking to use them for?

Just an observation so I don't want everyone to get their panties in a bunch but I am getting a kick out of you guys. Wet suits, dry tops, studded boots, fins. Just buy a frggin' boat will ya?
Christ, when I surf fished (for like 40 years), we put on waders, a rubber top and Korker sandles and we fished. Period!
We got wet every night. We fell down we got bruised up. That was surf fishing. I read some of these posts and I think you guys need to encase yourselves in a plexiglass bubble.
Oh I know! Here it comes. All the defenders of technology and how I'm an old bast**D who hasn't grown with the times. I'm ready pipsqueeks.   |

Yeah... you remeber when dirt was new.
I'm betting that If all the crap available NOW was available then, you'd have used it, or at least SERIOUSLY considered it.

I don't think you're old. Heck, you have a graphite shafted driver and six different wedges, don't you? Hopefully you still play from the blue tees. 
However, if I ever see or hear you're using a pull cart its over between us...pull cart users are worse than boat guys...god forbid you do both... |

LOL! It is getting ridiculous. The lines between boat fishing and shore fishing have blurred. Frankly, I think if you are skishing, you are boat fishing. (the wet suit is your boat). At a recent show I saw a kayak so tricked out with motor, electronics, side pontoons, live bait tank, tackle storage, comfy chair, you name it this thing had it. I asked the guy... what's the point? He said huh? I said why not just get a real boat? at some point you stop fishing in one form and transition to the next.
I love surf fishing, but I own a boat too. So when one sucks I do the the other. That's my excuse. |

Me too. I got the boat because I got diagnosed with cancer and the chemo kicked the crap out of me so much i couldn't surf fish. Now I am in er-mission and I surf fish when it's too windy for the boat or, sometimes, just to get back to being pounded by waves.
....and Mikey, I only carry 3 wedges 50, 56 and 60 degrees.  |

Piemma,
I agree. I sense that much of the new crowd start surfcasting by thinking they have to get out to that last rock to catch a bass. I call them "I wanna be a boat". I watch some of them swim through cow filled boulder fields trying to get to that last rock. Many of them haven't gone through that learning curve of finding out why bass like shallow water.
Surfcasters with years of experience like you probably started out with short boots/splash pants and chest high waders hence had to learn to fish shallow. Although I personally use a wet suit from time to time so far I haven't had the inclination or had to resort to actually swimming to a rock to find bass.
To each his own.

There have always been guys in boats who will risk life and limb to get closer to shore and fish the white water; and there have always been guys on shore willing to risk life and limb to get to deep water. Too bad they can't swap places.

You asked 4 it
I think you old timers are full of chit!! Great guys, I've met each one personally 1st class but get with it will ya. I lucky enough to do it all, not good, but I do it, except for trolling in the back of a sail boat.
If another modern way of fishing comes out tomorrow suck it up old schoolers,, and by the way...stick with pen squiders and mono too. |

I was going to stay out of this thread, but crafty you drew me in,
would never spend that much for a plug bag, but for reels you get what you pay for, and buying a couple of big money reels is worth it in my book, I am a hard working guy and I don't have a trust fund and it's not a fashion thing, they're work horses that have never failed me.
I do still own a couple of 704's greenies but parts are hard to come by and I kinda don't want to use them.
Bottom line is you get what you pay for, reels arn't made like they used to be, I don't want to be replacing reels and line every year

Well, if nothing else, I'm glad I jumped in and took some of the heat off Paulie for a while... 
I would have responded earlier but I was busy in my tackle room putting fresh tar on my lines
But as far as 'getting with it' goes, I did go out and buy one of those cellulose phones last year and started a geezer grid
On the other hand, I seriously doubt I'm ever gonna put myself on that My Face website - and I'm not doing the Tweety bird thing either...  |

Tim Coleman never stepped foot in the water. 
Nice post, OLD BALLS!
Some of us don't have the means to buy a boat and in my case definitely don't have the know how. I've been on boats other than for a whale watch or a couple of party boat trips for groundfish maybe a handful of times. You wouldn't want me anywhere near you operating a boat. It's honestly just fun swimming to rocks and bobbing up and down in the water while you're hooked into a fish and it definitely gives you an advantage.
Definitely agree with the comment about guys looking for stuff to buy. I become less and less of that guy everyone year as I smarten up but am definitely guilty and the bs you see guys buying at shows every year is proof that there are plenty more idiots like myself out there. One day maybe I'll grow up to be as smart as PIEMMA

Are you guys putting metal studs into the force fins? Are they durable enough to handle that?
