Hey TubeDude! In reading through a number of these posts, I realized that I had better ask a question about tube repair. I received the Fish Cat 4 tubes I ordered (my wife is excited) and I was not sure about getting a repair kit. I’ve read your comments about Aquaseal and was wondering if that is the way I should go. I’ve seen the repair kits sold by Outcast, but didn’t know if the Outcast kits were any good. Do you have any experience with these? Does Aquaseal also work with waders?
I was also wondering about tube leaks. How common are they? I don’t know how my wife will feel about getting out in the tube if the tube will be springing small leaks frequently. Also, do you know if life vests are required to be worn in Utah? I didn’t know if the vest had to be on, or if I could just have one on the tube somewhere. Do you have any recommendations on the best type of life vest to be used when float tubing?
Well, we are almost ready to join the world of float tubing. We have our tubes, fins, sonar, and a few other goodies as well. I still have to get around to getting some fly line, nets, rod/fish finder mount, anchor, and other small accessories, but they will need to wait for another payday or two. Before I forget, I also wanted to let you know that I was able to pick up a mounting bracket for the Cuda 168 I had mentioned to you (the one with the missing mounting bracket). It ended up being free, so I was happy with that.
