Float Tubes for Fishing and Angling (Made by Caddis Sports)

I have been an avid fisherman for 40 years. Like most avid fisherman, I catch myself looking for the next fishing hole each time I drive down a country road. I’m looking for that magical fishing hole that no one has found. I found one of those holes a year ago but couldn’t get to 95% of the shore without getting cut with sticker bushes. I set out on Amazon to find a small raft or inflatable to use on the water to fish. I stumbled on the Caddis Sports Nevada Float Tube. If you are like me, you view things with a great deal of skepticism. I read a number of reviews, watched a number of videos, and talked to a friend of a friend that used a float tube. All of my research came back positive so I purchased one. The float showed up immediately from Amazon as usual. The first step was to inflate the unit. I strongly suggest an electric pump designed to operate via a car battery to inflate the float. It can be inflated with a handheld unit as I did the first time, however, it took a bit of time and a little more energy than I wanted. Once I realized it inflated without issue, I headed out to the magic fishing ground. I urge you to make a list of things you will need before you go out to use your float. I forgot to take my flippers the first time out but was still able to power the vessel with my feet. The next trip was with my flippers and the float was amazing. It was easy to get into and out of with some pockets to store my phone and wallet. I managed to stuff all of the lures I needed into a 3500 sized storage box that was easy to manage on the float. As for fishing with the float, it is a dream. My seat is very comfortable with great back support. My legs are submerged in the water and my upper boat is free to cast and move around. The quality of the materials used to make the Caddis Sports Nevada is much better than expected given the amazing price offered on Amazon. I was able to get to 100% of the magic fishing area without any issues. My friend went out and purchased a very expensive float a few weeks after I had success with mine. I can honestly say I’m not sure where all the extra money he paid went as it is almost identical to my float. I strongly urge anyone looking for something a little different in fishing to try this float. It will allow you to get to spots you never dreamed you could reach and offer a twist on fishing you always wanted.

I have had my Float Tube for 6 years now. From early spring until late fall it sits out hanging from my porch rail. This is the most affordable flow tube you will ever find. It has brought me many years of fishing and floating enjoyment.

This is my second one of these. Its not a great float tube but its cheap. Probably the cheapest on the market. This one was even more so cause it was a "used" item. The first one I bought at a store. It lasted about 3 years before a seam split on the inside of the cover where your back would rest. Kinda my fault though. I liked it inflated tight and left it in the back of my truck on a hot day. The first time I put air in it, the valve stops split. They are made of a cheap clear fragile plastic. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THEM! I ended up cutting valves off of bike tubes and with some shoe glue and electrical tape was able to make them air tight and easier to inflate. Caddis offered to send me a whole new tube as there is no fix for this problem. But after I was able to fix it even better then new. In fact, when I unpack this one, I would put my old tube in it and save the new one for the future if needed. A shame they dont just sell the shell like they do the tubes. As for use. It is very comfortable to use. May tend to slide down in the seat a bit but thats the way all these open front tube are. And its easy enough just to scoot back. At no time do you feel like you are going to fall out. The pockets are big. I float with a 32oz power aid bottle, a case for my smokes and phone on one side and 6 to 8 bags of soft baits and a few other things in the other and still have a ton of room for twice as much stuff. The front bar clips into place. Makes it handy to unclip it to get in and out of.I gave it 4 stars even with the super crappy valve stops only cause I was able to fix them. If not for that I would of given this 2 or 3 stars. Even though caddis offers to send a new tube, it can still be an on going problem. Not to mention if it happens right before you have a day planned, it would end it.

Great float tube.

Ok

Small air leak in main bladder. Noticed it the first time I used it.

I purchased four of these.My sister purchased two out of Michigan .A total of six. We floated the Comal river in New Brunsfels, TX. These tubes were such a hit. I got so many requests of " where did you get those?" and " That is exactly what I need." They look so comfortable" What did you pay for them." I began to feel and sound like a Caddis salesman. The tubes were great. Only problem I had was one popped at the seam on the headrest. I thought maybe it was because I left it in the sun. Or maybe I overfilled it. Anyways I am seventy years old and a little heavy. My husband is seventy two and more than a little plump. We didn"t break the seam. The tube popped not more than three minutes after we got it out of the truck. Great Tubes. Well worth the price. And very comfortable. We floated the tube anyways and had a great day. I am returning now for a refund and intend to buy my tube back.

I have had one for several years, use it mostly on small mountain lakes, I like the back rest and the storage compartments. The valve to inflate it needs to be a bit better but I bought a piece of tubing to put over it and it helps a lot, thats is my only complaint.Bought this one for my son because his was old and starting to leak

haven't used yet but will update when i do. thank you.

For the price this is an excellent float tube. It was easy to inflate and worked like a charm the first day I took it out. If anyone is interested in getting into float tubing and does not want to break the back, this is a great buy.

本当はO型が欲しかったが、このご時世になり、ものすごく高い物になってしまい、U型となりました。来てすぐに穴が空いていないかチェックしましたが、特にエア漏れは確認出来ませんでしたので、問題ありません。ただ、Uの先端部分まで内部のチューブが到達していません。外側が大きいのか、PVCのチューブが小さいのかは解りませんが、ガワが余ってしまいます(笑)まぁ浮くのには問題ないと思います。　もう一つ、大口径バルブを備えていないので、ダブルアクションポンプでも膨らませるのに時間が少し掛かります。PVCなので、ゴムチューブ型のよりはマシですが…空気の出し入れは、他の方が写真載せていますのでそちらを参照してもらえば解りますが、かなり細くて特殊な格好をしています。ダブルアクションポンプを使用する場合、ポンプのホース接続部をよく確認して購入しないと、口の形状が合わなくて、うまく空気が入れられませんので、注意が必要です。　まぁフローターのメーカーとしては大手なので、PVCチューブなどの消耗品が手に入りやすそうなので、そこだけが救いです。

Great product and great price.looking forward to trying it this weekend

カモ猟の回収用として使ってます。気室は一つしか無いみたいです。
