Been having this tube for a year and a half now, brand freaking new..only used a couple of times....after seeing Rons (paintNfish) tube with a fish finder, I was influenced to slap on a portable fish finder that I had just laying in the garage...wasn't that much hard work actually...it hold up more than good, I went and tested it out @ Castaic Lagoon and worked pretty well, I use it mostly just to know the depth I'm fishing in.....I need to work on making some Rod Holders for it,....I been picking CatchThatTrout's Brain about some rod holders, so we'll see how it ends up coming out if all goes well...
