Description:

The most important and indispensable accessory for fishing from float tube is fins. They provide the force to move around in your float tube or inflatable pontoon boat and the maneuverability necessary to play a fish and counter the forces of wind and current. High performance fins enable an angler to move to a new location quickly, hover in the perfect position for casting and work a shoreline with precision and ease.

Build using Amphibian® fin system, Navigator Flipfins™ have proven to be the best fins for fishing from Float Tubes or Inflatable Pontoons out there. If you want maximum distance with minimum effort and best maneuverability, then these are the flip fins™ for you!

Flipfins™ revolutionary and durable Aqua-Hinge mechanism and highly efficient blade design provide an essential combination of performance and safety for all float tubers and pontoon fisherman. Prominent central web configuration contributes to increased propulsion and reduces load required during sustained kicking, while providing maximum power and best comfort at the same time.

Amphibian® Fin System by Omega Aquatics is designed to be strapped on prior to entering the water and removed after exiting. These fins have the heavy-duty, military grade stainless steel springs that push the blade webbing up against the shin while on the shore. Once on the water, fins blades are flipped down into swimming position by simply kicking naturally in the water or by pressing the blade with the back of your heel to lock, and flipped back up by pushing back on the release levers prior to getting out.Flip fins™ designed to work well with boot or stocking foot waders.

With Navigator Flipfins™ you get the ultimate performance that will allow you to enhance your fishing experience.

Pros: Lock up or down, easy to adjust and fit on wading boot
Cons:

If you use a float boat or belly boat for fishing these fins are a must. I had the pleasure of trying a pair out past weekend and they were great.

The distinguishing feature of these fins in their unique locking mechanism which with a quick kick or pressure from the opposite boot, can lock the boot either in an up position against the shin or in the down position for use while under way. They can be locked up or down using only your feet, a truly hands free operation.

I reviewed them in a pontoon boat in which you must climb in and out of and position your feet in a open space under the boat once underway. It would be next to impossible to get in and out of the boat with fins on without the lock up and down mechanism.

I reviewed them in a full size 10' pontoon boat fully loaded with myself and a passenger up front. They provided plenty of propulsion allowing hands free operation of the boat. Not only could you use them to power yourself around a small lake, they also allow the fine adjustments in boat position on a river to put you right where you want to be. They let you be much stealthier in your approach in tight small river situations than you would have been punching the oars into the water.

Unlike many scuba fins, these fins are neutral colored and blend into the river bottom and will not spook fish.
