TD is right. The amount of air in the seat (both parts)
makes a HUGE difference.
When I first top off my SFT in the morning by the lake, I make sure that I put a lot of air in it. Because when I put
it in cold water ( sierra nevada lakes) it will get a lot
softer. Then If I need I will let some air out or in.
NOW, when all good , seat just fine, no problem during the day temp but in evening it gets
colder the air in the seat will "shrink" and the seat and the
tube gets softer-I will start sliding . But at that point Im
just about done fishing so I just deal with it for the
last half hour or so.
Oh, and that is one of the reasons why Im looking for
small pump that I can have on my tube all the time.
I have still not find one that would work just yet.[frown]
