Myself personally I have a fishcat4,their dual bladder so if one happens to pop or go bad,u still have one to keep u from being in the water,unlike the single u shape tube,make sure u have a life vest at all times no matter how good or not of a swimmer u are or not.other than that be safe and have fun.

I picked up a Prowler which is almost the same, but a little bigger than the fish cat. I read about 1 guy with a caddis that had a bladder pop and it helped me decide against it. Basically his tube went down fast and on a cold morning with waders and clothes on even with a vest on it was hard for him to keep his head above water. Keep in mind once your waders start taking on water and your clothes get wet your going to be a lot heavier and will start sinking like an anchor.

Whatever you do always wear a vest.
