glass-ons rule

Here's some pics of a few stubbies, hunter/seekers, and quad fish getting prepped with glass-on fins. Glass-ons are light (no boxes), and allow the fins to flex the way they were designed to. The stubbies work insane with glass-ons and a tapered stringer, as the thin tail can twist and flex along with the fin for a more integrated ride.
