[cool][#0000ff]Since I no longer use them I guess I might consider passing them on to a good home. I think I know about where they are so I will dig them out and let you know.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]They do have their applications. The original design for for fishing small ponds in Oklahoma, where they were invented. Guys would wear those old tubes on straps over their shoulders and combine shallow wading with occasional kicking while casting for bass and "brim". Okay for that.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]But I tried them once...for about 2 minutes...and took them off forever. And a fishing buddy tried to use them for a long morning of fishing and almost ended up in the hospital.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]The FishMaster float tubes were the first commercially made tubes I ever bought. Up until they hit the market I fished from tubes I had made myself. Used them for about 5 or six years before upgrading to some of the newer models and passing the FMs down to my growing sons. One son still has his.[/#0000ff]
