Inefficient and inexpensive By Coyote from Denver, CO on 10/27/2008 Cons: Difficult To Use, Poor Design, Serves No Purpose Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: The fins are not adequate to hold your position in a pontoon boat in fair winds. As noted in other reviews the angle of the fins is poorly designed and alot of propulsion power is lost due to the poor fit of the straps.
By Foo Fighter from Arizona on 05/14/2008 Pros: Durable, Easy To Use, Functional Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Adjust strap securely to prevent fin slipping off shoe
Okay,..but could be a WHOLE lot better! By Fishin' RN from Enfield, NH on 05/12/2008 Pros: Durable, Inexpensive on sale Cons: Design is inefficient, Fins too small for effect, Straps are useless Best Uses: Fresh Water, Traveling Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I'll keep these fins because they are decent for the price, but first, the straps/buckles are TOTALLY useless if you have big feet at all (size 12 here). I threw the straps out and made my own...which cost about[$] from a fabric/craft store. Second, the design is VERY inefficient when you consider how you sit in a float tube. The vane of the fin should angle DOWN a bit so your thrust is pushing you to the rear instead of the way they currently work. They vane of the fin could also be about two inches longer so you can get more power from your kick. It is a no-brainer that float tube fin design should be quite different from scuba fins, but they do move you along...very slowly and inefficiently. At the sale price, they are tolerable, but come on folks...put a little thought into the design!
