Anyone use Float Tube or Pontoon Fins?

Post by **Bobber** » Wed Oct 29, 2008 7:04 am

I'm looking for someone in the Ottawa area who may use Float Tube or Pontoon Fins (for your feet).

If you do, and are interested in doing a Review on a pair, could you let me know via this response.

Thanks.

I'll probably be using the tube until mid-Nov.

Rob,

What brand are they? One of the many tubers here might already own the pair you're looking to have reviewed.

Cheers,
Todd

Todd,

Do we have a lot of Tubers here? I'm looking at providing the fins for a designated length of time and having people try them out to let us know what they think of them.

They're quite unique, and I need to respond to the gentleman who wants them reviewed on whether or not I can do it for him. I don't tube myself, so I thought that someone here would be interested. Would most likely be the Spring before we get to it though.

Rob,

By my guess there are probably close to a dozen tubers in the Float & Fly section (myself included).

That being said, there is probably only about 2-3 weeks of tubing season left (assuming the weather cooperates).

I for one would be interested, and I might actually get out for some brookies this weekend.

Cheers,
Todd

Hey Todd,

By the time I get the fins the season would most likely be over, so we'd be looking at next season realistically to try them out. I was just looking to see if there were actually folks who used them and would be interested, and it seems there is, so I'll reply and say that we'd be glad to give 'em a whirl, then once I have them, we'll find people who want to give them a try and let us know what they think of them so that we can provide that feedback to the manufacturer.

cheers,

Rob,

Sounds like a plan. I'll look forward seeing them next season.

Sounds like a good excuse to get a tube this winter....

Ah yes...must spend money to have fun!

In any case it's good to be ready for ice out in the spring. But for now it's fish till ice up. LOL

Hi Bobber,

I bought a float tube recently and a pair of fins by Caddis. When the soft water arrives and if you pass them around for a number of reviews, I'll try them and compare them with mine. Another reason to go fishing...yes

Well the tubing season is fast approaching. If there is still a desire to have people put some float tube fins through their paces and provide field reviews I would suggest contacting interested members sooner rather than later.

Cheers,
Todd

Just picked up a pontoon and am dying to try it out with fins and trolling motor.

This is off topic, but I'm curious. Never having tubed but wondered about it, why would the tubing season be over in 2-3 weeks?

Cheers,
Ray

Good point!
But wonder why it's a sticky?
