Product Field Review - Simms Alumabite Cleats

Simms Alumabite Cleats

For a few years now I have used the Simms Star Cleats on my Vibram soles for Steelheading. They have always been pretty sticky but the carbide cleats will slip on certain rock shapes.

This tear I decided to add 5 of the Alumabite cleats on each boot, in addition to the star cleats. This is the way to go! The aluminum is like glue, at no time did I feel any instability due to slipping while wading. A lot of you likely know that uncoated aluminum sticks like crazy to rocks. That's why we used to have spend hours coating the bottom of our Kofflers with Glove-It.  Now you can take advantage of that for safer wading.

The only downside I can figure out with the Alumabites is that they will wear quicker than other cleats/studs due to the softer properties of aluminum. This is what makes them so sticky so I think it's worth it. Based on the wear I have on the Alumabites, after 21 days straight fishing, I would expect 2-3 seasons of use before I have to replace....not bad.

Product Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Happy New Year!

We hope 2011 brings you good health, prosperity, awesome dry fly eats, and Brown Trout the size of your arm.

After you get rid of that headache caused by the stuff you did last night!

From all of us at CP.

Happy New Year!
