Great Tube, Great Way to Fish! By FishOn! from Kanab, UT on 08/17/2008 Pros: Easy To Maintain, Easy to pack, Functional, Good pockets Best Uses: Fresh Water, Traveling Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: 1st time in a float tube! A great way to fish! Awesome tube, held up all 210 lbs of me. It was comforatable for all day use - we slayed some Tiger Trout. Only problem was the bungee string on onw side pulled out of clip for the striping apron. I think it was may fault tho, it was a difficult launch spot and I was kind of stubling in my flippers. All in all the fabric seems very tough and the tube was pretty easy to manuver.
By Phil from California on 08/16/2008 Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: My son used this one day. The straps which support the font of the seat both came undone at the same time, nearly sending him sliding into the lake. Later that day they came undone 3 other times. I thought about taping or zip tying them, but what's the point. It is going back.
By Fish on! from Kanab, UTAH on 08/13/2008 Pros: Easy To Use, Functional Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great product, used it on Tiger Trout the morning after I recieved it. Thank goodness[...] or I would have missed an epic trip! This is my 1st float tube and I think it's well designed, sturdy, comfortable for all day use, and holds me up (210 lbs.). One of plastic hooks that hold the striping tray did pull out, but I believe I did it when I was stumbling in/out with the fins on - just be sure to release them before you get out!

Best Float tube for the Money! By Md. Fly-fisher from Upper Potomac River, Md. on 07/09/2008 Pros: Durable, Easy To Maintain, Easy To Use, Functional Cons: Valve stem for Headrest c Describe Yourself: Avid Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: My Caddis "Neveda Gold" Float tube was packaged and shipped with several accessories and arrived in 3/days. In inspecting the F/Tube it is of excellent quality and easy to assemble. I have added several custom appointments to the unit to support a down-sized Kayak type paddle, and small cooler for full day floats.
The only area I felt could be improved is to "Extend" the length of the valve stem for inflating the Headrest. Excellent product and priced exceptionally well after comparing to a large number of other Float tubes.

Always keep an eye on your tubes inflation pressure as a 5 degree rise in air temp can cause a 1lb change in air pressure. Rated at 5lbs max inflation pressure, it doesn't take much to POP! any tube if left in the Sun or a hot vehicle.
