[cool] They say that a big part of success in fishing is learning the habits of your intended quarry. It gets to be a lot like that in marriage too. A little proper planning, a delicate presentation snd then being careful not to set the "hook" too soon. Of course, knowing how to "play" your wife the right way is important too.
Over the years, my wife and I have developed a relationship that results in very few disputes. We have a 50 - 50 arrangement around our place. She gets fifty dollars and I get fifty cents.
After I had posted that link, I wandered around through the site and found that their current list price on those fins is under $80. If you can find them for that price in a retail outlet, they are a good buy. I also noticed some wild looking fins made by Dacor. I would have to see them up close and personal, and maybe try them on the water before I could give them any kind of recommendation, but they sure are purty.
I have gone through a whole lot of different fins over the years. Many will work okay, but if you are going to want to move long distances...especially on big waters, against the wind or in currents, you need the best propulsion you can get. Those Avanti fins have established themselves with me, and more than a few other float-craft nuts, as being a good combination of size, efficiency and comfort.
Good luck in your search...and your "setup" with the spouse.
