Seems theres a lot of people with the same problem I might try out my friends, one size bigger, and check if Cressi is just not for me which sucks! The open heeled fins are very comfortable I heard and if they're long fins we might have a winner! Thanks! Check out the red grouper caught yesterday, not a big one but niceeeee. Catch em up!
what happened to the grouper pic??
the cressi fins are known to be very good, but theyre not the best (if such a thing exists) so dont worry, youre not sacrificing by changing to other brands , i have tried many fins and i know rafael (strangelove) and spaghetti have too, for ME, i find the omer ice fins the best plastic fins for long surface swims and dives to 15m depth (50ft)..i dont particularly notice that they dont spook the fish, but they do spook me sometimes when i look back and cant see my fins , i find that not spooking fish has much more to do with how you enter the dive and finning technique rather then the camo pattern on your fin...
In terms of breaking, i think (i might be mistaken) that the new models of the ice now dont have screws but are sort of glued to the foot poclet which eliminats the stress points at the screws, mine do have the screws however and they are very sturdy...i dont believe the ice fins have a reputation for breaking, any fin can break i think, but the ice fins are not fragile by any means in my view...i think you will enjoy them..
happy hunting
