Get In Gear | Behold, The XtraTuf II

Change is something that fishermen rarely like to deal with. Yet, one of the most time honored and classic elements of commercial fishing is changing. Yes, the XtraTuf II is here! Muck boots, known for their comfort, have teamed up with the classic XtraTuf to offer more stability and a better overall feel. The ironic part of that the XtraTuf website mentions nothing of these. The boots were on display at the Pacific Marine Expo and the added stability was very noticeable. To anyone that has ever rolled their ankle in a pair of XtraTufs, you will appreciate the new design. So, where can you find a pair of these fancy new icons of the fishing world. LFS Marine has these babies ready for preorder (here) on their website. The only problem is that the boots won’t be available until the end of July! Come on, XtraTuf! This does not seem very thought thru. Well, whenever they get here, will fishermen even use them? What do you think?

  1. I am thrilled! I love Muck and Bog boots but want the stability and non slip of the Xtratuff. I know a lot of people who can’t wear the Xtratuffs for one reason or another. I am sorry that they are made in China but that isn’t always horrible. I am getting these!!!

  2. What a POS! Sell them to gardners, farmers and photographers. Noteventuff is more like it!
