Hi Eli, long time! Hope all is well. Bought some pollock in Florida today, surprised to see it here.

I just find it amazing the amount of pearl clutching and hand wringing about this subject by a group of fisherman who rip fish out of the sea daily via hook and line. If you were really that concerned about the ocean environment, you should just probably stop fishing. The entire subject has become politicized just for the election cycle. I could not get through a third of this thread due to the uneducated hateful rhetoric being spewed.

Just wondering when the are going to release new versions of the existing 8k, 10k, 14k, 18k and 20k sizes.

If he was thinking damage control he would not have talked to the police for an hour without a lawyer. It was a fast and loose low budget set. Being one of the producers makes him even more culpable.

If you do end up there I would recommend joining the CT Surfcasters Association. A great group who are extremely knowledgeable. I have made some lifelong friends from the club. I lived in West Haven all my life and moved to FL in 2020. I would not recommend buying anything there, the city has deep-seated financial problems that will only be taken care of by increased taxes. It would help to know where your workplaces will be, that is key to where you want to live because of the traffic.

Jimmy, The straps will eventually break, this sheet metal screw solution works okay, unless you need to change the soles often. While taking this picture I realized that the previous version of the spiked sole pictured actually held the spikes longer. It looks like there is less of a way for saltwater to infiltrate. The spike on the newer soles are better IMO.

This is the reply and resolution from Korker customer service, no mention of the rubber strap issue. Even though Korkers has issues with the boots and soles, the customer service is top notch! One of the things I think we need to remember is that this company started as a freshwater logging spike company. One other aside is that they need to remove any metal from the lace systems on the boots. "Hi David, If you are using them in saltwater, that is the culprit. It is very corrosive and eats away at the metals causing rust in the threads since they never truly dry out in those small gaps. Then when you turn your foot while putting downward pressure on the spikes, they turn the insert and they fall out. Saltwater also eats away at the rubber so the thinnest part, usually the straps deteriorate over time. It is best practice to wash your boots and soles every time you wear them. In particular, you can remove the spikes every once and a while to clean the threads and insert that is molded into the rubber sole. Time and effort are about the only solution. For now though, we will cover these under warranty. I have put a pair on order so you should have them in about a week or a little longer. Good luck and safe fishing."

Yes, I have warranted two different pairs. I believe the warranty is for one year. Although they have taken care of older products for me. https://korkers.com/pages/warranty-claim
