Do you like the Solus better than the Rusty set?
Attachment 784Attachment 783
this is a repeat from another forum, but should be here. Just tested the Snubster I made on my 6-4 HellFire with AM-2 fronts 4.79" and combo with V2F4 3.75" rears. Head High day. ( had a kink in my neck so I was not as loose as I wanted to be,) However. there did not seem to be any noticeable drag and there was a bit more hold, board was reactive during a carve with little or no sliding sideways. Good hold. Neck started bothering me so I could not retest with out them in the box on those same waves.

I have no need for fins any smaller on the front than the AM-2's therefore I will be selling my Rusty Trifin set. (keeping the quad rear) Rusty has too much flex in the tips for me.
I am looking for the following quad rears, Surfboardwarehouse.com is looking into it.
SA-4 quad rears and the AM-2 quad rears
also looking for the V2 Roberts trifin set
Anyone had any experience with the True Ames Fins (http://trueames.com/shop/timmy-patte...futures-fins-1).
I bought a set of AM2s Futures for my new 6'4 Hellfire as I always rode my last one as a Thruster, but I just tried it as a quad and I really like it. I really fancy the Rusty R1's rears with AM2 Fronts (Thanks for doing all the hard yards on the research Fritz) but dont fancy shelling out for the whole Rusty set if Im not going to use them. So was thinking I can order the True Ames rears at half the cost, which seem similar dimensions (H:100 x B:98 vs H:98 x B:95 - Rustys) with the added bonus that I can get the True Ames rears in Yellow Hexcore to match the AM2 fronts, so will be just like a 5 fin set.
hey jynxz, I have bought futures fins in singles, pairs any combo you want,just ask your surf shop and they should be able to help, in OZ anyway.
great thread!!!
Just tryed my new 6'4 Hellfire with the AM2's in the front and the True Ames quad rears and Im really liking it. Theyre just a tad bigger than the Rustys or the Stretch's which I found a bit too loose. Also the quality is excellent on them I have to say. I got the Hexcore ones to match the characteristics of the AM2's. I tryed them out for the first time today on waist high waves and they had plenty of drive but still felt loose enough to throw around easily. looking at the swell and hopefully Ill be trying them out on some head high + long point breaks tomorrow so cant wait.
