Great picture, AT.
Earlier in my discussion of the ODC 420 (in another thread, I think) I made the comment that I didn't think that the quality of this tube was as high as the Fish Cat 4. Since getting mine I will now have to say I was wrong. What threw me off was the colors. The FC4 is dark blue with a black bottom. The stitching is hardly visible against the dark backdrop. The ODC is light blue with a gray bottom. The stitching is more visible. Made it look cheaper.
Putting the two side by side now, I'd have to say that they are of about the same quality. In fact, with the added carrying capacity of the ODC, I am very happy. Just finished equipping it with a fly rod holder and fish finder mount. Hope to get out and put some trout on the end of the line this weekend.
