You didn't realize that those boots only work with higher range models
of Simms waders? Heck, they only cost pennies a day!

d;op But they do cost only pennies every time I put them on. Paid
$400 for 'em and have more than 400 days in them. You do the math.
d;o) In the same amount of time I would have spent twice, maybe three
times, that amount for two or three sets of waders.

As far as studs on the Chotas: I agree with you. They are so very
easy to remove/add as needed. I used the studs on Penns, but they are
unnecessary on the Rapid, and make rock hopping more dangerous. If you
look carefully at some of the rocks at the Wing Dam, you can see the
skid marks that the studs make.
