Hey addicted!!!
I have a tube with a rod holder, they run about 25 bucks for the one that will handle my spinning, baitcasting and fly rod, all three in one. there is also a small portable finder, not a buddy, is made by hawkeye it has a kneck lanyard and runs about 80bucks but more like 100 if you want the one with temp its in cabelas with the rest of the finders....I want to say its a norcross marine product, hawkeye and there are 2 models...the Xp3300 and the Xp3000 or something like that. I want one, It looks cool you can use it on the ice and everything.
as far as anchors go....just take a mesh sack with a rope tied to it and get ya a few good rocks on the shoreline and bag em and toss em...you can tailor that size for the wind too...and when you are done you can release the rocks back to the wild so they can spawn the next generation of anchors....and oh yeah they are free!!! then you dont have to deal with the weight of a 10pound anchor as well as all the other crap you have on the tube/toon.
Just a few suggestions, but I would go over to the float tube board and get ya some info then you can decide....I even posted the question of the 7.5 horse motor on the back of my tube before YOU found me such a great boat....it is cleaning up real nice. and I am in the process of brainstorming up a fix for that bow.
