you get what you pay for??? Korkers are the best!! there is nothing better, spend some time in the bubble weed out on block island, those felt sole with tiny little studs will cause a broken neck! Korkers are the best!

I am puzzled. I buy a 3 dollar roll of duct tape a year. I tie my Korkers on and then 3 wraps of duct tape. They never fall off. I replace the tape every couple of weeks and I am on the rocks almost every night. Has worked for me for about 10 or 12 years after I lost a Korker at Deep Hole.

No boat, back in the suds.

On the wet rock studded boots are fine but on the big high dry granite rocks we have here they will land u on ur butt big time.I have been usin the hodgeman korkers an they been holding up pretty well so far.I kinda change the laces an the pull down configuration.They are great for the big weed rocks also as the studs sit in a little bump on the bottom of the korker to kinda elevate them (make the studs longer to cut through the weed)

What size nuts and bolts?Are you doing anything besides pushing the bolts thru
the existing holes and threading on the nuts?

I've always used duct tape on the straps.Works fine.

I used Stainless Pan Phillips Machine Screws, Size 10
24 x 3/4". Put them thru the existing holes with a washer on eash end. I used regular nuts and put a drop of threadlock on them.

The replaceables soles are carbide tipped which have much greater bite compared to stainless....which makes it a more aggressive korker. Thers nothin tiny or little about that.
