Korker Modifications

[tattoobob]

I started using screws a few years back, I found that I would loose a couple of screws (like studs) every time out. So I got some fender washers and I have not had a screw come out sense, I do need to replace the screws 2 to 3 times a year. I don't feel like I even have them on anymore. If I have to walk I carry them and put them on at the spot.

I need to do something with the straps this winter they are starting to tear thru from rock rubbing and climbing, I added D-rings to them and I can really get them tight I never have to retighten anymore.

I've seen that on SOL, isn't that the same as DZ's method though? Or very very close to it?

You could read that two ways

I thought DZ's had the screw heads on the Bottom? Where those have the heads on top

[Rockport24]

screw heads on the bottom?

[JFigliuolo]

I would think screw heads on the bottom would suck more than nothing at all.

I don't want anybody getting hurt on my advice,but have you tried just felt soles,I'm like a mountain goat on wet rocks with them.el-cheapo might just buy the replacement felt soles and glue them onto your sneakers.

If you think you'll be fine in felt soles fishing the Rhody shore - your fishing is probably confined to a small area....north of Narraganset Pier - my guess. There are a lot good spots in that area that are high enough so they are not submerged long enough to grow slime....If you start fishing the rocks south of the pier without Korkers, you're asking for it. Korkers saved my life on two occasions.

Yes - I sell them, but I could care less if you bought them off me - they are one of my lowest margin items. Korkers are a necessity - on your way down the face of a slimy rock, you're gonna remember this.

I know Steve M does not use them - he's forgotten more than I know, so I'm not going to diss him. It's a huge mistake for the vast majority of people to assume they can do something just because someone else can. If you look close at his collar you'll see a faint outline of what I think is a gill plate.
