Hello Everyone,
I have been lurking since joining this forum a couple of weeks ago, so I thought it was time I introduced myself. My name is Bryon, and I live and fish in the great state of Michigan. Way back in 1997 when I first moved here, I bought a Caddis Nevada float tube, and used it for many happy years. I finally sold it in 2014 to help finance the purchase of my fishing kayak. I LOVE the kayak, but I’ve found that there are times when I miss my tube—namely those times when I want to fish someplace that’s too far out in the boonies to trailer in a 100+ lb. kayak!
So, I’m here to gather information. It’s been a long time since I shopped for tubes, and things have changed. For one thing, I’m a bigger guy than I was back then, and I’d like a tube with a higher weight capacity this time. Also, there are lots more styles of float tubes available now, and, since I’m slightly less poor than I was 20 years ago, I’d like to get a little bit nicer one this time around, too.
I’ll save my specific questions for the appropriate areas of the forum; for now I’m just saying “hi” and I’m glad to be here!
