[cool][#0000ff]The Fish Cat 4, piloted by Flycasting, is quite popular among Utah tubers. It is around the $150 mark and has many of the same quality features as the Fat Cats, which ticket for about $100 more. It is slightly smaller and the pockets are not as big either, but if you are under 200# it is a great tube.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]One of the other very popular tubes in that range is the Creek Company ODC 420. BFTer Majja just got one and seems to like it, as do many of the folks on the [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?forum=81;"]FLOAT TUBE BOARD[/url].

[#0000ff]I will be "initiating" some family members to tubing this coming summer, so I am buying a couple of other tubes. The first was the Fish Cat 4, from a BFTer on the Utah for sale board. The next will be one of the ODC 420's. I will pay full price if I need to. They are a good buy.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]This is a good time of year to find some deals. Some would-be tubers have got tubes and never used them...and are selling them for holiday cash. If they had used them they wouldn't be selling them. There are also clearance sales as dealers clear their tubing areas to make room for ice fishing gear. If you can wait for the ISE sports show in March, you may be able to find a smokin' deal there too.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Once you narrow your choices, feel free to PM me or post the questions...either here or the tubing board.[/#0000ff]
