I am getting ready to purchase a new tube. Have been out of tube fishing for 15+ years.

A buddy recommends the Caddis Navigator II. Big-5 has it on sale now for $110 which seems like a good deal.

Main use will be trout and bass in lakes.

I am a big guys (about 300 pounds) and this is rated at 350# so I should be ok.

Also looking ofr suggestions on waders for use in the Eastern Sierras.

Thanks

Pete

Thanks Guys. I am going to try and get one this weekend.

Any recommendations for waders? Turners has some on sale for $29 right now, but that seems cheap for neoprene.

Thanks

Hey All,

Just picked up my Caddis II tonight at my local Big 5. Got the last one they had.

Seems like a steal @ $110.

I wont be able to try it off for a few weeks, but I may take a spin in my sisters pool to make sure it is all set-up right.

I am heading to the Eastern Sierra (June Lake) in late July and look forward to using it there.

Thanks all

Pete
