I like these too. Super lightweight and less clunky, I dont stumble as much walking like with Korkers. Great on jetties and cliffs. Only drawback is on sand, where they fill up quickly. I drilled a bunch of large holes on the bottom, hopefully it will drain sand easier. I stick to Korkers for really tough, cobble and boulder terrain. |

I find the small spikes w/felt in my boots much better on bare rocks than Korkers, which I still use in the weed. If you do fish rocky/weedy areas, get something with long spikes like the K-5000's.

I have the K-5000; they work great. I haven't fallen off a rock since I bought them.
My only gripe is that they're heavy.
Plus, last year I did put anti-sieze on the studs, so a few are broken off and stuck.  |

I don't wanna hijack this thread but is there anyone around the Canal that carries Korkers? I want to fit them to my boots and get a good look before I buy. Seems like most people like them and I have a bad tendency of falling off rocks  |

They are sized in inches, so you should be able to get a perfect fit without looking...unless you just want to check them out. Call Joe Lyons, his shipping is etremely fast in the area...

I don't see too many guys using korkers at the canal. I don't use mine at the canal.
