Thanx, Dude.
I keep thinking that the issue with control begins and ends with the fins. So I read up on fins a little and found that this cheap powerful fin may not be good for me.
The fins I was using are very stiff (powerful) and if I had some more practice with what I need to be doing with my legs to get things done they might be okay. I'm strong, so pumping powerful fins is not going to be an issue. But, as with many other things, using something that is more powerful/faster is great when the user has great familiarity with the item, but can be a hindrance when employed by a novice. Thus, maybe I should try some weaker (more flexible) fins? Does this make sense or am I just making excuses?
FYI: It was not a total loss off a day. I was hauling in 10-13" Rainbows all day, from the bank, with a bronze Castmaster. :-)
