Dave Scadden Zonker ??

Hello everyone. New to the site but long time tuber. I have been fishing out of Fish Cats for 20+ years but took the bait and bought a Zonker. Love it!! My question is has anyone figured out how to attach backpack straps to this rig. I kept one of my 4 Fish Cats for hiking in to a lake I love (one mile hike). My other lakes are a shorter hike.

Welcome aboard WItuber!
And congrat’s on your new Zonker ride!

I kick a Cumberland but I’m certain that somebody will be chiming-in soon with “hopefully” a resolve to your backpacking strap “how to” attach issue.
We have plenty of people here who do backpack there tubes.

Well, I honestly hope that we will be reading a few fish reports from you in the not so distant future Sir.

Tight-lines to ya WItuber,

SP Dan

Welcome to the forum WItuber.

I have not seen to many backpack strap modifications here. Maybe you will lead the charge.

Enjoy the forum

Recently contacted Dave regarding putting d rings on for backpack straps. He said attach with locktiite vinyl and fabric adhesive. Put two on the bottom and ran the straps around the other side to the closest d ring. Looks like it worked very well. I’ll post some pics later. Looking to pack it in for about a mile to a remote smallie lake I hit last year. Caught about 50 between 16-22”. Used my fish cat last year.
