    Default Photos of your Float Tube etc

    Can you guys post up some photos of your guys float tubes. I need to fix up my new Fish Cat 4 and wanna see some ideas for Anchors,Trollingmotors,Coolers,rod holders etc.

    Kinda new to the Float tube thing and I am looking forward to seeing what you guys have done to your tubes.

    thanks

    Here's a pic of my FC4 with PVC rod holders, seat saddle bag, RAM mount and a Lowrance X96 fish finder.




    I have since upgraded the fish finder to a Lowrance X510c.

    All I have for mine is... Nothing! I don't have anything for my tube yet, since I haven't taken it out yet. I might add some rod holders and that is it.

    Well I wouldn't do an anchor or a motor of any kind. I have a small cooler I put in the back of my Prowler and I have fabricated a rod holder and fish finder mount as well for my float tube if you look at the pics it on the left side and its blue. I redesigned the one I have now to be more compact and I did a complete wire tuck so I can keep it simple. Ill post the pics one day. I use 1 to 2 rod holders depending on what Im going for. Ive been float tubing for 12 years and youll find that you'll change your set up over and over and even go through a couple of tubes. Ive had the Navigator to Trout Unlimited tubes but I love the prowler I have it set up perfect for me. Get a good set of dive fins and youll never need an anchor the bad thing about anchor is that you can kick towards your catch and the chance of the fish swimming around the anchor line is about 100%. A floating fish basket and a good silicone new is a must. Make sure you wash your tube with some soap and water after every use to keep it clean and free of critters.

    I just made my rod holders... I used 1 1/4" size PVC for the rods... One question for So Cal Bassman. On the slits on the bottom part of the rod holders, why disnt you put a slit on rod holder one and rod holder three instead of rod holder one and rod holder two? and what kind of straps did u get for the top and where do they connect????

    Go to REI and you can get clips and straps for about 6 bucks. Here are some pics from the fish finder I just made Ive sold 6 already this one is mine I use to have more rod holders but they just get in the way.
