I'm really looking for straight up and down blue water type fins, hopefully with enough backbone to power a stubborn fish up

How long are the SpecialFIns?

I have two pairs of hybrids one medium one stiff, the total length from heel to toe is 35 inches (on my omer 46/48 pockes), the lenght of the tip of the blade to the pair of screws is 24 inches.

I really like the medium stiff the are great for surface swimming, the hard are too hard for me, use them just for up and down dives (these are my impressions in AK where the water is around 50 F), I am 6 feet , 175 lb in AK I dive with 18 lb of lead.

The Hybrids are the same length as the C4/30 but wider.
