I have an old tube, one of the first ever made, my dads old one. It works well. For the most part I use my pontoon boat, it works better in lakes with the oars, but I can still use flippers, I love my pontoon, it is realy at home in a river and got me in to alot of nice fish this year. Cant wait for spring so I can get it out agin for the big hatches, long winter [:@]. Here is a pic if it works, one of the only pics I got this spring, i guss thats what ya git when ya fish alone most of the time.
