This is the first time I’ve ever seen a browning tube.
How many years did you fish out of this tube?
Thanx for sharing it with us! Thumbs Up

I got this tube when I was 15, fished in it until I was 18. This thing is 20 years old

Great old tube bro. My first was also a Browning. I will see if I can find it online.

Did that Browning have an overlaped zipper with the rubber truck inner tube and long air valve?

No it has a blue vinyl blasder with the plastic valve that the tip twist open and shut so you can blow it up with your mouth. We cut 3/4 inch plastic tubing so we can use the double action hand pump or air compressor.

The tube in my Avatar is a Browning.
It had that rubber inner tube setup like that. The rubber tube became hard to find so I switched to a vinyl tube. The vinyl expands more than rubber in the sun and eventually blew out the seams in the old Browning.
