    Default looking to upgrade

    ok with the new trout season around the corner im looking to upgrade from my current tube. Caddis navigator pro (see avatar) its been a sweet rid but with every use its cons start to outweigh its pros.

    so im starting the look for another tube my budget is bout $220 im open to uses or new.

    ok so here the question.

    i know most people are going to tell me to get OFC 4 and some people who have to consider price far less then i will insist i get OFC super fat cat. but there are so many options and most of them are comparatively priced. if you have any kind of float tube id like to hear what you have what you like about it and what you don't like about it.

    Everybody is crazy about the Fish Cat tubes. I don't know much about them. They do cost more. I have a Creek Company ODC 420. It has a very large capacity and is really big. I got it for $129 on ebay, and I am very happy with it. I feel like it's super reliable. Floats high in the water, and it seems very rugged. The seat is not inflated, but I tie on one of those $6.00 seat PFDs, and my back is a comfy as can be (learned all these tricks from Vortec_Cruiser). Here's on on ebay bidding at $99.00: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Creek-Compan...item3a772395f3

    A Cumberland can be had for under $200 on coverbonanza.com I just recently got one and they are sweet. Foam seats, plenty of storage space and have a capacity of 350lbs. I just did an eight hour session today and no complaints here. The water level is right under the knee. Here's a picture of mine.
