I couldn't agree more. A couple of years ago, I went through a period where I was sick of being "stuck" in a tube. I have been tubing for over 20 years. My buddy that I have fished with forever is on his 3rd bass boat, while I, because my life took a different turn from his (as in having a family), I'm on the "maybe next year" plan.
But sometime last year, something changed. I fell back in love with tubing, although I never stopped doing it. I don't even want to fish from a boat that often anymore.
As far as advantages, I think the biggest ones are being able (forced) to work an area thoroughly, and not being confined to launch ramps. I like being able to constantly adjust my line angle during my retrieve with a kick of a fin. And I love not having to spend an hour before and an hour after fishing to deal with a boat.
