korkers?

[Saltheart]

I don't like the korkers on rubble like the canal rip rap. I like them on bigger rocks along the normal shore. They are a must on the black rocks like the east side of Pt Judith.

Along the canal , I trip over thr cleats on the rubble. yes , they may help out when the water line is just below the weed line but i handle that by either staying above until the rocks below the weed are exposed or by getting into the water with knee high boots below the weed line. You do have to get by the weeds to get in the water and that can be tricky cause the weeds are slippery but overall , I don't like the korkers at the canal.

I have K1000's and they are better with the laces than the strap models. For fishing away from the canal , Most everyone tapes then to their wader boots with duct tape but still tie the laces. .

The DZ method of retro fitting the K1100 is the best one I've seen so far - but that takes a considerable amount of work. He starts the season out with new bolts and then does at least one complete replacement - if I remember correctly. It seems that anyway you slice it you're going to have to do some maintainance.
I would never buy a first year sandal regardless of who makes it and I don't see how an attempt to enter the marketplace with a new one could be a wise business move. Its probably why we have not seen a serious competitor to Korkers arise - I think they are going on 40yrs now.
