I have owned and fished from a tube and a pontoon before buying this boat. There are a few places where launching my boat would be very difficult, and either a tube or 'toon would be better. But that's about the only advantage they hold - in my view.
I can stand and fish in my ProAngler. It's faster than either a tube or a 'toon, with longer range. Lots more storage space. It turns in almost its own length. It is extremely stable in all wind and wave conditions. I'm always dry. And if I need to, I can even pee.
Designed for fishing? It isn't called a Pro Angler for nothing.
As to the reverse gear aspect, you CAN turn the pedal drive around and move backward to "back troll" but it takes a few seconds to change from one to the other. To just back away from something, it's easier to use the paddle.
