Force Fins

I believe this is a new design, that adapts to a Wading Boot: http://www.cabelas.com:80/cabelas/en...449&hasJS=true
This is a good price compared to other retailers. The Reviews are interesting!

Doug,

They have been around for several years. I picked up a pair at Sportsman's Warehouse right after they opened at a very good price. I haven't seen them in there lately. I'm not sure what the going price is now. And yes they will fit over wading boots.

Some of the reviews had me scratching my head. "can't turn"???? I have no trouble at all turning with mine.

I guess that I never checked the Force Fin site, for these fins, because it never occurred to me they could update the regular model. I wonder if this is a case of "If it aint' broke don't fix it"?

I've had the adjustable FF for about 5 years or more and they are great.

I hope some day I have to race or out manoeuvre some of the reviewers because if they can't figure out how to turn in a float tube....

Bamboozle,

If synchronized float tubes ever becomes an Olympic sport, we'll have to team up and show 'em how it's done. I was practicing my pirouettes yesterday.

Over five years here on the FF. I too bought mine at Sportsmen's and they were barely over $100. Still in excellent condition...no wear on the neoprene at all and I can honestly say, these are THE ONLY flippers I have used that are NOT hard on the boot/shoes. Other fins I had literally cut my boot/shoes.
The only other flipper I have considered are these:

You have chosen wisely grasshopper. We have a review of those ( http://colo2.flyanglersonline.com/prorevw/flipfin.php ) and guess what. They are a new sponsor too. They seem to be pretty good.

I can see they are good looking fins, but what make Force Fins worth $150? I do pretty good with a pair I paid $3 at a garage sale. Hey, I'm cheap, born poor and never fully recovered.

Force Fins are SPOON shaped. They curl up on the end so you can walk forward in them. The "V" shape makes them cut through the water better, then on the forward they SCOOP the water.
When bad weather hits you and you are in the middle of the lake, then you will appreciate this.
