				Korker Strap Modification
			 
 Joe,  Saw your article in the November OTW with the RI Surfcasting legend.  I was very interested in how he modified the Korker straps.  I don't like the straps that come with them and almost killed myself this weekend.  I strained to get a better look at the pictures to no avail.  Do you have more pictures or can anyone else explain the best way to do this with hockey laces.
 Thanks in advance,  Chris

				 | I have the 5000's.  I thought the same thing about just replacing with laces, but I noticed in the OTW article that it appeared that that there were still straps coming from the back.  I could be mistaken, it was tough to see in the picture.   Thanks, Chris |
