I have been using a pair of Korker cleats for years. During my last trip to Cuttyhunk Island, I lost a cleat after being knocked off a rock by a wave. Korker now has boots with studs. But, my Simms boots still have a lot of steps left in them. So, I order a set of Grip Studs.
Mounting the #1800 Grip Studs to your boots is easy. All you need is the stud tool and a power drill. Before you drill, define a pattern that will distribute your weight evenly across all of the studs. This will enhance your balance and reduce pressure points.
I field tested my new traction control system on a precarious rock formation that extends far out from a sandy beach. They grip! The barnacles, seaweed, and relentless waves were no match!! I never lost my footing!!!
Grip Studs just work. It’s that simple. The unexpected benefit of using Grip Studs instead of Korker cleats is increased fishing time. All I need to do is tie my boots and I am ready to trek over rocks with sea weed dread locks. 🙂
