Korker Mod. Strap ???

[Goose]

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.

I wish I had a camera for a pic of mine.
I have the Korker model (not sure which one) that has the hard cups at front and back with straps with one Fastex buckle.
I wore the original studs out in about about 4 steps from my truck, and within a year had to replace them. When I tried to replace them last year, about half of the studs snapped off. On T. Lapinski's advice (before DZ's article), I drilled them out on the big press, P.I.T.A. He told me to go with 1 inch to 2 inch bolts. So I put in 1 1/2 inch 1 quarter inch bolts with lock washers. The traction of these things is unparalleled. When I showed him them, it seems I did a little over kill cause I apparently was supposed to use similar sized as fishaholic used. Oh well. I have walked way too many miles in all types of terrain with them. I have never had a problem with the straps coming off or loosening either.
Only draw back is they weigh about 10 pounds a piece. Keeps me anchored to the rocks a little better.

Fishaholic,
Those are the correct size screws - you can go larger like redlite if you want to climb everest. Longer screws may cause you to trip so be carefull.
As far as attaching the garden hose to replace the straps: Use some of the existing spike holes. In some cases you may have to use a one inch screw for the straps depending on the thickness of the hose.
Eventually the screws will wear down and need to be replaced, this all depends on the terrain you fish.
