I've heard both castaic and lake perris r pretty good rite now for lmb,as far as tubes,I have a outcast fc4 first generation,they have a really good warranty plan,or either creek company odc420 or classic acessories Cumberland are both good tubes just under $200.

Been floating the nevada gold for about a year. Haven't had a problem with it and haven't had any complaints. Also received great customer service from Caddis.

I had the Nevada Gold and upgraded to FishCat4. Honestly, it was a world of difference. The FC4 sits higher and is very easy to change directions in the water. The Nevada Gold sits lower and you can feel the resistance when kicking out. Only downside is that with the FC4, the wind affects you more.

You can never go wrong with a fc4.. Ive used mine for trout, bass, catfish, and bay fishing and its THE best tube I've owned.. I've owned a navigator 4, nevada gold, and navigator 2.. By far, the FC4 is the one to go with. Find them used on craigslist for cheap or you might be lucky and find a new one for cheap as well. I found mine for $100 BNIB.

Sante Fe Dam is a fun place to tube and has decent bass fishing...
