My Float Tube
A float tube is a lightweight pneumatic device that fishermen use to track down hard-to-reach places on the shore. Invented by fishermen across the Atlantic, the float tube is enjoying significant success in Europe where the number of fans continues to climb.
Fan of fly fishing or lure fishing, the float tube is the ideal “boat” to discover another aspect of fishing invisible from the edge.
A tool that will allow you to make life difficult for the surrounding predatory fish: catfish, pike, black bass, etc. They will just have to behave!
The advantages of the float tube
The economic aspect is the number one advantage of the float tube: inexpensive, they are accessible to all wallets. The overall cost of a float tube will be much lower than a boat since no motor needs to be powered (it is your muscles that propel the machine) and the maintenance tasks are extremely light.
Furthermore, a small, light and inflatable boat means ease of transport. A float tube will in fact always be easier to transport than a boat or a fishing boat!
The success of the float tube also comes from the numerous storage spaces available to its user and thus offers the latter the possibility of transporting as much equipment as on a boat or boat type vessel.
As you will have understood, the advantages of the float tube are numerous; the float tube has all the advantages of a fishing boat and at a lower cost.
Without forgetting that you carry out silent approaches and in the ideal position!
Choosing your float tube
The float tube market has expanded in recent years and the attention to be paid when purchasing your “boat” must be all the more important, as the quality of the material is not always there.
Two types of float tubes are available on the market, namely “V” or “U” shaped models: less water resistant due to their “V” shaped tip (e.g.: Pack Float Tube Outcast Fish Cat 4), “V” float tubes are distinguished by better hydrodynamics and will therefore be easier to handle. “U” shaped models (e.g. JMC Boat Tube) have the particularity of having a more rounded rear part but their general shape remains equivalent to that of “V” float tubes.
From a construction point of view, float tubes are constructed using several independent air chambers. If there are still models with a single air chamber, do not hesitate to opt for a float tube with several chambers for obvious safety reasons.
And the number 1 criterion when purchasing your float tube: comfort.
Essential accessories
Fishing with a float tube is a tenfold pleasure of fishing but it cannot be improvised. Both for your comfort and above all for your safety, here is the list of essential equipment that must accompany you during your fishing trips:
Waders: float tubes come with waders which will allow the fisherman to keep his upper body dry and protect himself from the cold. There are several types of waders, namely neoprene models, breathable models, etc.
Fins: prefer a fairly long model of fins if you plan on long trips, you will be less tired.
Life jacket or buoyancy aid: essential, water remains a dangerous environment and no one is safe from sinking.
One pump: double action or foot pump.
An anchor: allows you to explore a place for a long time and is a safety tool in the event of a cramp, for example.
A transport bag: to avoid getting your vehicle dirty or wet.
