Well, after much thinking and thinking and thinking if I wanted a Fish Cat 4 Deluxe, our Salt Gathering trip sure did help make up my mind. Also a phone call to my buddy Dano made the decision easy. Picked Danos brain about the goods and what he like about the Fish Cat 4 and decision made! After work today, I stopped by Bob Marriott's and pick up my new Fish Cat 4 Deluxe! I did get it in Red. I tube the salt more often than I do in the fresh and the RED stands out like crazy. I want to be scene in boat traffic areas! Now, to rig a new tube and figure out how to mount all my gear, sounder, HD cam once again! Fun Fun! Pics coming when I can get some rigged photos!

Ya it was a no brainer for me yesterday. I was tubing with Dano, Madbasser and Monster and all 3 had this tube. Mad was in a ODC420. Even Dano commented how low I was sitting in my Caddis Navigator VI. When the boat wakes would come by, I was moving like significantly more then the others. Also, I was kicking my butt off and not moving near as fast through the water as Dano and Madbasser. So Fish Cat 4 here I am! Very Happy

So I guess I will turn this into a mini review! Here are my impressions on the OutCast products so far, the Fish Cat 4 Deluxe! I opened the box and right away I noticed the material is way heavier and more durable than my Caddis. I proceeded to inflate the Fish Cat and it was cake! Out of the box with no messing with the bladders nothing. Just inflate and go! This is my first at really looking at a Fish Cat 4 Deluxe up close. I can already tell I am going to only have my legs in the water!! No more half my body as aqua drag! A warmer, drier and better ride! The tackle compartments are larger which is a bonus! The area behind the seat back is perfect for a small tackle organizer, life vest etc.

I inflated my baby and put a coat of water proof seal over the nylon mesh areas of the tube. This helps A LOT in UV protection and sheds water off like crazy! Makes it dry a lot faster after a rinse! The inflatable bladders are easy to inflate and looks like it will be a comfortable ride for my bottom side! So back to the material. The material is amazing! The bottom sides are thick and slick. I'm not afraid of landing toothy critters anymore! The size is nice and perfect! This Fish Cat is amazing! I can not wait to get her in the drink!

Hey LC, tell me more about what you sprayed it with, where do you get it from?

Nice man, congrats. The delux costs a bit more but the inflatable seat and back rest are so much nicer than the foam blocks in the standard model. Such a pain to pull those out all the time to get them to dry.

Thanks Fever! I like the red too! Smile I use a water proofing spray I buy at Sport Chalet. It's in the camping department. It is used to spray of gear, clothing, tents, etc. You can either get the aerosol powered cans or manual spray bottles. Both are the same. I have been doing this on all my tubes. The vinyl areas shed the water and repel the water so much better. Like it never really soaks into the material. Just sits up on top. I inflate my tube, spray it on real good and let it dry in the sun for about an hour. Make sure you do not over inflate your tube to do the spraying as the sun will add more air pressure to the bladders. Thats all I do. Works awesome. The spray does not have to be any specific brand. Big 5, Sport Chalet, Dicks, all have them. Heck, it's available at Walmart too! Very Happy

Thanks and I am excited! I sat in the tube in my workshop and it sure is comfy with the inflatable seat and back! Smile

I found the replacement inflatable seat and back, $110.00. Think I will just have to buy a new tube and sell mine.

Wow that is expensive! It's more cost effective to just sell your tube and buy a new one! Fish Cat's I bet will have a great re sale value!

Meet you at BPS tomorrow so you can buy your new Fish Cat! Razz

Congrats LC on the new ride!! The red is cool.
U will be amazed at how much of a differance the hight makes is casting and pitching. It makes it so much easier to pitch baits into hard to reach places.
The differance is night and day.

Also the V-design with the raised bow makes it super quick in the water. The drag is really minimized. And since u are out of the water u will be warmer in cold water.

Totaly a win-win. Super happy for u man and we all know u will put it to good use.

Thanks Mad! Thanks for all the words in the areas why I bought this tube! You and Dano share the shame thoughts about this tube. I am happy I finally picked one up. In NPH the other day, man fighting the wind and the current and the boat wakes in my pontoon caddis was like terrible. I was frustrated and with I just could not have a comfortable fishing day. It's about having a fun and good experience on the water. Can't wait to get her wet! Smile
