"Pat, What's your current experience with the inflatable seat lately?"
[cool][#0000ff]I have not used an inflated seat for over a year. Yes, they are adjustable for comfort and create less "sag" in the tube. But, they ARE inflatable and must be fully inflated or they are worthless. Once the air pressure drops a bit you will start sliding out of the seat and the sides collapse inward on you. A pinhole leak or valve problem can leave you with your arms wrapped over the air chambers and kicking your way back to shore. Inflated seats are the primary reason I began using hard chair inserts. Got tired of having to quit fishing early.[/#0000ff]
