Anybody Ever Break A Korker K-5000 Buckle?

[scottw]

haven't broken them but I've had them slide off and get lost, Walmart has straps and buckles in the camping section for about a buck or so....they are long straps so that you can replace the entire thing and even slide some rubber tube over the exposed section at the toe so that it won't wear...and I wrap the buckle ends crossed around the back of my ankle and then buckle them at the front of my ankle...they cannot come off when buckled that way...

Thanks, men - I took a ride across the Big Bridge to see Joe at Surfcasting Rhode Island and he squared me away with buckles - so I'm ready for night ops tonight.

Joe, thanks again - you're a lifesaver - literally...

Besides, I don't have anyone to leave all my tackle to if I did go over the side - and Mrs Crafty's second post ever would be in the S-B Classifieds...
