I've tried them and they worked good till they, unfortunately,got out from the boot. I mean that I lost almost half of the star cleats. The head of cental screw that holds the star cleat just got rusty and the hole diameter got smaller than the hole in the cleat. It allows the cleat just to slip out off the screw. So, for me it was just waste of money. I would never buy them again.

I find the vibram soles don’t hold studs well at least the newer versions, better with the screw inserts last well beyond thier ware

A lot of people like multi-piece fly rods for convenient travel. The rod box on my boat can hold my 7 1/2 foot casting and spinning rods. I've built rods for decades, mostly casting and some spinning rods. It's time for a new fly rod, but won't go beyond 2 piece.

Very nice , and advise on how best to get the line to coil, I can get it to work , it snaps back after the first couple of twist?
@reelfishnetwork8 ай бұрын
Depends on the size of the line. Just hold it so it doesn’t twist back
@anon-e-mouse98810 ай бұрын
Only issue with this way is if the line is too thick for the eye you’re screwed
@reelfishnetwork7 ай бұрын
Yes you have to base your hook size off the line you’re using. 9/10 times it works fine

Simms is a rip off, $34.95 for 10 star cleats and you need twenty do do the job as they specify, 10 starcleats per shoe. that comes to 3.50 each cleat not including tax and shipping. Hey, forget about it I am not buying anything Simms again.

I have these freestones and I even used aquaseal on screws like Simms says you should and I shed loose an aluminum cleat just about every other time I go out. The sole is not up to the task of holding screws properly.

Depends on where you are fishing. Where I go is big slippery rocks so they’re definitely required for traction. You can always buy them and give them a try before purchasing the studs
