Float tube suggestions
Permalink  
 

I'm looking for suggestions for a tube relatively portable most of are cumbersome regardless but  I need one that's durable and long lasting I have gone through 3 of the Nevada caddis tubes n they all have had the same problem ripping at the seat that leads to tearing in the tube cover the whole seam just splits. On all three I've had the same problem I want a hardy one that's a similar style the pontoon ones are kinda lame but I'm open to suggestions.

I've got two of the fish cats by outcast that i purchased just over a year ago.  I can't make claims about long term durability yet but they seem to hold up well so far.  Very comfortable, sit up high in the water (which can be good or bad) and have plenty of storage room.  Handle chop like a champ and easy to paddle and keep on track.  A small ice chest fits perfect in the front section  :)

 

Night and day over the old school Caddis tube I used to have.

Hell Chris, I've got two of them. If you want to take one for a test drive let me know and I'll meet you up at the creek or lake.

Been beating the crap out of my outcast fat cat for about 6 years now. No problems other then one broken zipper. Highly recomend outcast float tubes.

I take my out cast on the delta. It's super stable and so easy to move around in.
