It doesn’t matter how generous you are with yourself when buying your fly fishing gear, there’s a very strong chance that you might stop in your tracks when you see how much studs cost. And you’ll ask yourself, do I really need them? And that depends on how serious you want to fish…
Let’s face it, most serious fly fishers don’t mind spending a bit on the kit. Expensive rods, expensive reels, high end apparel and so on. Perhaps financially irresponsible, chasing the addiction, feeding a love of all things nice. But everyone has their point, and quite often that point is studs.
Fly fishers around the world ask themselves, why should they pay such huge lumps of money something that arguably has no justification at all for the exxy price? This is the age old question when it comes to boot studs in fly fishing.
The general impression is that you are asked to pay a ludicrous cost for a tiny number of studs compared to what you actually need, all the while understanding that you literally just got ripped off. However, the alternative without studs could be a miserable, dangerous day of slipping.
There’s not even any specific brands to call out for over-charging on studs, they all do it. The normal boot stud package offers 20 studs and screws for between $25 and $30, which works out to be about $1.50 per screw! They are quality screws admittedly, but still, they are just screws.
