    Default Float tube choice

    Ok guys for a while I've been leaning towards the Outcast Super Fat Cat, but because of the large price tag I have decided to take a look at these.

    Can you guys give me some input on these?

    The Classic Accessories Cumberland

    http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/produ...r/wishlist.jsp

    Or

    The Creek Co. ODC 420

    http://creekcompany.com/product.php?...cat=249&page=1

    My main concern is having something that will support my 265 lbs and sits high in the water. They both seem to have good reviews on the web. Just wanted to check with you guys before I pull the trigger on one.

    Thanks!

    You have the regular Fish Cat? Not the Super Fat Cat? Hmm the website says the weight limit for those is 250.

    If you want a good tube and are looking for a good deal, ebay has a seller by the name of boatmaster_2009. He sells the ODC 420 (and other creek company tubes and toons) in no reserve auctions. I just picked another 420 up for $81. Brand new and in the orig. box (in fact he ships in orig. box). If you don't win one auction keep checking he always has them for sale.
    Here's the link to his store:

    Good luck

    I have the ODC 420 combo (includes fins and pump) and I LOVE IT. I have also used Fish Cat 4 and it us exactly the same as my ODC 420. I sit very high in the water. I love it.

    My choice of the ODC was after some use of other Tubes and some research...
    Wanting a "V" tube, after a few years on a "U" Tube..
    The "V" Tubes mentioned are all "almost" alike....

    Two Main Bladders and Fill ports in handy location is why I chose the ODC...
    I Tube in the Ocean as well as any other body of water that may, or may not have fish in it..
    Two main bladders are Prime safety issue for me..
    The Boston Valves in the front pockets allows me to Fill of deflate while fishing.
    Made 2 short extensions that fit in the valves.. Keep them in the pockets..
    Had a slow leak one day at NPH, just put tube in and kept right on fishing for several hrs.
    Just gave the extension a few puffs when needed.....
    Thats my story, and Im stickin to it!!!!!

    Your gonna love it bro. Now you need fins, pump, waders, basket or stringer, net, and life vest. Optional is rod holders. Then you're on your way!
