What type of float tube should I choose

I was recently asked why would you choose a standard float tube or a Hybrid float tube.  Here is was I said for a response.

I believe that it is really up to the individual and their personal needs and wants.  I can see that is a fisherman that float tubes a few times a year would see value in a basic bladder type float tube.  You would not have to spend a lot really under $200 and you are in a great tube that will do great.

But if you are like me and when you fish it is from a float tube then they hybrids are the boats you should be looking for.  They are pricy, but you know the old saying you get what you pay for.  They Hybrid boars have no bladders and are made of PVC or Hypolone materials.  They are long lasting materials so if you take care of them they will last you for years to come.

This is just the basic and there is more to this than this but, simple food for thought here guys are you a die-hard tuber.  Or are you just the type of fisherman that loves to break out a tube for the trout opener and maybe once or twice more for the year.  Once you understand this about yourself you can make a better choice Standard or hybrid.

Float Tube Fishing and Fins

This one of the most common questions on our forum and what people ask me is what type of fins should I be using.  That is a tough question to answer or is it.  Here is my thought, after 20 years of float tube fishing I can say this get a pair that fit and use them.  The more important question is what type of waders are you using.  Boot waders require a specific type of fin and stocking foot waders a different type.  The following video cover the basic's that you need to know and as mentioned in the video Muscle Memories is something we don't take into account.

Float Tubes are changing in the US are you on board

Maxxon Inflatables, Seven Bass Design, Savage Gear are just some of the top new brands that are out there in the U.S. market that are changing the Float Tube Fishing world.  Most of us that have been float tubing for years now are used to the old standbys of Cumberlands and Fish Cats.  Outcast and Classic Accessories have been for years the top choices.  That is changing and here is why. 

For years in Europe, they have been what are called hybrid boats.  What is a hybrid boat you ask well it is simply a float tube on steroids.  These are float tubes that have more to offer.  The big difference is the material its made of.  Most of them are either made of high-quality PVC or Hypalon.  These materials are unique to our sport at least here in the U.S.  The PVC and Hypalon materials make these boats 10x stronger which can handle some much more abuse from the fisherman.  These boats have no bladders which in some cases limit the overall weight of the boat.  The Seven Bass Expedition and Explorer are only 16 to 18 lbs so much much lighter than most. 

 
Some of these hybrid boats are heavier which can be an issue but besides the weight increase, they offer other options for moving around.  Most of the Hybrid boats have motor mounts so adding a trolling motor is fast and simple.  Some also come with oars a few if the top level hybrid float tubes out there with oars and or motor mounts are the Maxxon XPW 240 (Motor Mount and Oars), the Savage Gear 170 (Oars no Motor Mount) the Seven Bass Flatform ( Motor Mount and Oars) and the Maxxon 239 (Oars and no Motor Mount)
                                                       

                                     

Some of these hybrid boats offer us new options storing our tackle on them as well.  The older boats come with side packs that are sewn on with the hybrid boat most have cliplines or Gromet track systems that allow you to take their packs and attach them where you want them or maybe even DIY your own tackle packs.   Most of Seven Bass hybrid boats have the clipline and the Maxxon hybrid boats have the GTS.  With these systems, you can add whatever you want to where ever you want it.

 

We have options now in the U.S. and the options are with these Hybrid boats.  If you like to float tube fish and are looking for a new float tube why not try looking at some of these boats.  I can say they are worth every penny and you will not be disappointed.

Developed for the North American market, there are several distinctive design features. It has a hydrodynamic V-shape, weighs approximately 11 lbs., and has two color-coded internal air chambers for easy inflation.

Maxxon XPW 240 All you need to get on the water

So I have been lucky enough to have the ability to test and review some really great boats recently.  I have recently been using the XPW 240 from Maxxon Inflatable.  So let me start with this hybrid boats might be expensive but they are so worth every penny.  A hybrid is a float tube that is bladderless and tough. So many think that bladderless boats leave you with the possibility of catastrophic failure, and I was concerned about this as well.  But once I inflated the first Hybrid I was confident that I would be safe. These boats are built to last.

The Maxxon Inflatable XPW 240 is a drop-stitch flat float tube that is unusual looking.  Once you get on this boat and kick offshore you quickly notice this Hybrid boat is one solid and stable boat.  The size of the XPW 240 is almost 8' long and 4' wide and weighs 40 pounds.  Right away you can see that this is a large inflatable that can seem tough to move from the truck to the water.  First, it packs down into a bag that can be put in the trunk of a car with a lot of room left over. Also, you can simply carry it to the water as it has 2 handles perfectly placed to make it balanced and light when you carry it.  

The XPW 240 when on the water is just so comfortable and moves like a dream.  I have been in float tubes for a long time they move with such easy it's amazing.  So I really thought at first it would take more work and effort to move this boat in the water.  I figured I would be tired after struggling to kick this big inflatable in the water. Well, there is nothing further from the truth.  These flatboats glide over the surface of the water and have no drag. I remember being in the sling seat float tubes way back when. Those had drag as half your body was in the water, so it stands to reason the less of you in the water the less drag.  Of course, besides you not being in the water, there is less tube in the water as well. This boat sits right on top of the water.

The XPW 240 by Maxxon Inflatables is one of the top leave boats on the market.  I can safely say you will be happy with a boat like this any questions please ask I am happy to share more details floattubefishingforum73@gmail.com / https://squareup.com/store/floattubeforum
