Well I got my tube and I took it onto the water this weekend to sort of give it a test. I got my wet suit on Flippers and a sweater and went out. I took my rod with me to try a few casts just to get a feel of it. So out I go, the tube was sure comfy and had no problem launching. I discovered my one flipper seemed to be slipping a bit so I manged to move the heel strap up, but it was likely fine to begin with. The one problem tha tI did fine was that I seemed to be slipping a bit on my seat. I think I just need to get used to. I definatly see a need for the rod holders, and am working on that. Just waiting for Fish Finder to arrive. I discovered that you can troll in a tube, slowly that is, but hey it works. So things went well I was only out for about an hour, it was just a test run. I didn't really come across any other problems, but I can see that I will need to get used to it. I am sure that won't take long. When I went to dismount I almost lost my balance when removing my flippers but I saved my self the embarrasment.
So now I just need to get the finder and then I will be on the lake relaxing. Boy can I see that happening now.
I want to thank allyou tubers for all your posts that I have read, and the replies that you have had to mine.
