Float tubes can be had for cheap, but, then there is waders and flippers.
I had one of those little inflatable rafts with the oars many years ago (got it free for something or other)
I tried it on a lake once. Wasn't great but wasn't terrible either and it did get me out to the fish.
They should have several chambers of air so if one did spring a leak you can still stay afloat.
Maybe rig up something that will save your gear in that event.
I can only say I used it one weekend. Seem strong enough if you practice a little carefulness with what you are doing.
