classic accessories MARSHLAND

tube got delivered friday from cover bonanza. saturday i pumped her up. looked pretty solid.

later saturday, my brother (stinky bubbles) came by with his (or ed5000x) cumberland.

side by side the two are identical. same bladders, valves, crossbar, apron, seat.

besides the pockets opening forward, instead of backwards like the cumberland, and the cupholder infront, rather than the back, the two tubes are the same. and of cousre, the camo cover vs the green. also, the marshland has a few extra straps on the inboard side of both pockets, they say for a shotgun tether, and 4 d rings under seat to backpack the tube.


tubed the LAB this morning for the marshlands first trip out...

tube is awesome, like the cumberland. very stable, sat me high out of the water (I'm 6' 255lbs), felt good in the wind and strong outgoing tide/current, even felt solid when boats would pass by and wake us out. we were out for almsot 3 hours, seat seemed a little stiff, butt got a little sore, hopefully the seat will break in over time.

the decoy bag, i only imagine it "floats" if there are floating decoys inside of it. ill be using the bag to put all my gear in (waders/fins/booties/pfd)


need to build a rod rack and get back out there.

overall: the Marshland is, and appears to be the exact same as Cumberland, but Camo.

now, lets plan another group trip

Great news and glad you like it.

Need to make a rod rock now

Mine also came in on Friday but the weather was a little too snotty down here to take her out for a maiden voyage. She'll have to wait until the weekend...

Like C-H-L said, it looks like a Cumberland on camo (other than the backwards pockets). The main reason I bought this, aside from the bad a$$ look of a camo tube, is mine didn't have backpack d-rings on the bottom. I see myself being a lot more mobile and willing to walk further distances for a launch point now!

You're going to love it. I even think the camo looks better in person. Killer rod rack

Your house, or the shop?

It's crazy how the perspective is backwards on this picture. The rod tubes are actually at a 22.5° angle and the FF mount is vertical. I'm sure I will be making another soon but in the mean time, I took it off the Cumberland:
