I started the Float Tube Fishing Forum in 2010 thanks to my loving wife who helped by simply supporting and encouraging me in the building of this niche group. Since the beginning of this FTFF I have been on
a quest to stay in the forefront of what is new in the
world of float tube fishing and I think I have been
pretty successful. The traditional canvas covered float
tube has been on the market for many many years
since the early 40’s. Float tubes have of course
changed from the donut
to the U-boat, from the
U-boat to the Pontoon
boat, and even the more
common shape we see now, the V-boat. Tubes
have gone through small pockets to larger
pockets, carrying handles to backpack straps
and many other innovative ideas. As
fishermen we have added rod racks and hard
table trays, fish finders and anchor systems.
The canvas covers that we know today have been the very reason our sport has become more well known in recent years. Seats have changed from sling seats that put your
waist high in the water, to foam or inflatable for
extra height on the water as well as more comfort.
The Canvas cover float tube to this day is still a
great investment and option to get you off the
shore and on to the water for a relaxing or
adventures time fishing.
