Float tubes????

[Maximus2]

Been out of it for some time and want to give it a go again. I realised that a float tube is a must for a lot of venues if you want to get to the nice spots, that's now for us that don't have the dinero for an inflatable.

NOW this is where I need help in choosing the right one and spend my money wisely. Can all you guys that own one, please help and list the various pros and cons between the different makes on the market.

Thanks

Hi, i was in the same spot a while ago and tried a tube or two.

I tried a V-boat and U-boat

the V-boat is better than the U-boat but it doesnt make a U bad. (i got a U-boat in the end)

I personaly will only use my tube in summer so that makes sitting in the water lekker.

I dont see much of a speed differance between the two in open water but the V-boat takes less effort.

I went to a dam 2weeks ago in nigel on my tube for the first time and after blanking there from a inflatable about 5 times, i got a nice 1.44Kg green monster from the tube because i had more time to cover the spots. My friend didnt have flippers that day and kept up with me in his U-Boat, he just had to put in more effort to stay next to me.

I will say a U-boat is very good 8 out of 10 and a V-boat 9 out of 10.

But its up to the anglers personal taste, Like i said a U-boat is great but a V-boat has a plus or 2 over the U-Boat

Just my little bit

we build kickboats as a hobby and have modified them over the years to suit all types of fishing conditions...they are light compact and affordable.
