For the few of you that use a float tube, you should always wear a life vest.
Yea, I know, sound advise that I don't always use. I have a habit of puting the vest in the space behind me in my Fish Cat#4 . It is handy to get at ,but who knows what will go down in an emergency:confused: The tube and vest could push off away from me. :rolleyes: I'll now run a simple tether from the vest to clip on my waders. At least it will be within easy reach. :cool: You small lake and pondhoppers need to take a look at these tubes. They are just plain neat to fish out of . No, you can't tip over in the modern ones unless you are athletic and double jointed . lol
