Christ, when I surf fished (for like 40 years), we put on waders, a rubber top and Korker sandles and we fished. Period!

We got wet every night. We fell down we got bruised up. That was surf fishing. I read some of these posts and I think you guys need to encase yourselves in a plexiglass bubble.

Oh I know! Here it comes. All the defenders of technology and how I'm an old bast**D who hasn't grown with the times. I'm ready pipsqueeks.

You asked 4 it
I think you old timers are full of chit!! Great guys, I've met each one personally 1st class but get with it will ya. I lucky enough to do it all, not good, but I do it, except for trolling in the back of a sail boat.
If another modern way of fishing comes out tomorrow suck it up old schoolers,, and by the way...stick with pen squiders and mono too.

I was going to stay out of this thread, but crafty you drew me in,

would never spend that much for a plug bag, but for reels you get what you pay for, and buying a couple of big money reels is worth it in my book, I am a hard working guy and I don't have a trust fund and it's not a fashion thing, they're work horses that have never failed me.

I do still own a couple of 704's greenies but parts are hard to come by and I kinda don't want to use them.

Bottom line is you get what you pay for, reels arn't made like they used to be, I don't want to be replacing reels and line every year

Well, if nothing else, I'm glad I jumped in and took some of the heat off Paulie for a while...

I would have responded earlier but I was busy in my tackle room putting fresh tar on my lines

But as far as 'getting with it' goes, I did go out and buy one of those cellulose phones last year and started a geezer grid

On the other hand, I seriously doubt I'm ever gonna put myself on that My Face website - and I'm not doing the Tweety bird thing either...

...and Chuck I do appreciate it. Now, I am going out to fire up the Model A and head for the Dory to row myself out to the Outer Banks and handline for scup!
Actually, there are Bunker arriving daily and I am gonna go give 'em something to worrry about.

To the original question not only does force fins make a swim fin that fits over wader boots U.S.Divers makes one that is very good and easy to walk in. These are designed for float tube fishing and can be found on Amazon and a lot cheaper than the force fins at $70.

I haven't put studs in the Force Fins yet but I know guys that have and they are thick and sturdy enough to handle them.
