[font "Helv"]the difference between felt soles and cheap rubber soles- not the special rubber soles being advertised is isn't close. Take a look at the cheapest wading boot with a felt sole VS the cheapest wading boot with the new rubber- not even close. Felt is cheap- the technology and R&D $$ into the rubber soles is a big.
Take a look at the Minnesota study on this. And I quote" [/font][font "Georgia"]How do you inspect everybody?" It just takes one bad apple that completely disregards what we're trying to get them to do and that's how you transfer it from one lake to another," he said. But he said if every boater does their part, the inevitable march of invasive species can be slowed. ---- Slowed but not stopped[/font]
[font "Georgia"]You aren't going to get every boater and you know it- we can't even get people to pick up their own litter.[/font]
[font "Georgia"]The push by the FF industry is no different than any other industry " going GREEN""|. They are making a killing on it at your expense. I know- I purchase millions (16) of $$ every year in my work and I know what's goes on personally. Does someone really think that recycled paper is saving the forest- it isn't period. It's a money deal . No one has come back and and shown me why the supposedly #1 and 2 transportation vessels ( boots and neos) have not been banned. [/font]
[font "Georgia"]The listed web site on Clean your equipment or what ever sells their merchansie ( T shirts , cups , hats - etc etc) - making a buck off it. Again I'm not saying that's bad- I'm just saying that it's being done and that can't be disputed it's right there on the web site. [/font]
[font "Georgia"]Again I do my part and I wish that all the fly shops near water did like the shop in J.Hole does and provide a decontamination tank for your boots- that does more good than a " no felt.".[/font]
[font "Georgia"]I agree with most of you on everything else you have said except for your reluctance to admit that the FF industry might be just like any other industry- making a buck- which again is fine with me, it's just the disguise that they promote it with. [/font]
[font "Georgia"]I hope everyone has a safe fish catching weekend.[/font]
