[cool][#0000ff]I went through several Caddis Sierras in my tubing career. In the olden days there were only round tubes. See pic below.[/#0000ff]

My red Caddis accounts for a basket of crappies and small cats, as well as a 24# flathead that took a small crappie jig on 6# line. Below Horseshoe Dam in Az in early 2002 [/#000000]
[#0000ff]But, once I discovered the benefits of fishing in open front tubes...and the newer high seating models, I would never go back.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]As you correctly surmise, it is a good place to start. You can learn the basics and gain an appreciation for what tubing is all about...and just what you REALLY want in a craft for long term fishing pleasure.[/#0000ff]
