Editorial Review:

Adult fin with dual-composite split blade for float tube fisherman
Split blade's flex zones cup and channel water efficiently for minimal turbulence
Engineered to deliver excellent power while you conserve energy
Enlarged foot pocket, easy-adjust foot strap, and built-in leash system
Fits over water boots; available in sizes 8 to 13; 2-year limited warranty

U.S. Divers offers a variety of fin styles to meet the needs of water sports enthusiasts whether they're diving, snorkeling, tube fishing, body surfing, or having fun in the pool, and the Shredder FTF float tube fin is among the best. The Shredder FTF--which is engineered to deliver excellent power while you conserve energy--is distinguished by its dual-composite split blade, which features small flex zones to cup and channel the water efficiently. The end result is less water turbulence below the tube, and thus a lower likelihood of disturbing the fish. In addition, the fin features an enlarged foot pocket designed to fit over water boots and waders, so you don't need to rub your feet dry while paddling to a new location.

Thanks to the easy-adjust foot strap and built-in leash system, the fin fits comfortably regardless of your foot shape and won't float away should it get dislodged. Other details include bottom non-slip pads for safety and an all-black color for minimum fish disturbance. Available in sizes 8 to 13, the Shredder FTF is backed by a two-year limited warranty.

U.S.Divers FTF Float Tube Fins

Very happy with these float tube fins. Husband bought new waders with boot foot and was having trouble finding fins that would fit over larger boots now on waders. Tried several before finally finding these. Recommend them highly.

strong, well made fins

After reading some divers' recommendations that split fins work well at the surface, I decided to give these a try. The blades are relatively short and stiff, and, even though the performance was very responsive, I can't say that the effect of the split fins was noticeable. Perhaps the somewhat meandering style of float tube finning doesn't put these to the test, but regardless, the fins work well.
The footbox is easily adjustable and works with stockingfoot/bootie combos and would be fine with most modern styles of wading boots. No way would I try to jam my old Danner leather beasts in there, but my Orvis cheapies work fine. The integrated tether system is convenient.
Overall, these fins are well made, comfy, and strong. They seem to be favorable to others in their price class, and I'd buy them again.
