Hello everyone,
I just found the board the other day and have been reading and learning a lot from all your post. It great information.
I've started fishing again this year after many years of not doing much, and I would like to try my hand at float tubing. I'm going to sell some old scuba gear and buy a tube. I've got some neoprene wadders and my scuba fins, I'm not sure what else I would need to get started except a tube.
After reading this board most folks have said good things about the fishcat4 and the fatcat tubes. I'm 5"8" and 190lbs. I'm thinking that the fatcat would work well for me for many years. The prices online are around $350. Not sure what they are locally, but that seems ok.
I live in Utah and want to be able to get off the bank this summer, and fish the Uinta lakes too.
I know nothing about float tubing but what Ive read. I plan on getting something within the next month. I want to have a tube that Ill be happy with, while not going overboard, something that I can add accesiories to over time, be safe on the water, and be able to walk in to an alpine lake with.
Fishcat, Fatcat, Supercat?
Where to buy? Amazon, ebay, online, or locally. I live in Salt Lake, UT.
Is $350 to much to spend on my first Tube?
Thanks
