Caddis and the New Teardrop

The Teardrop by Caddis

There newest float tube is a upgrade from there Caddis Pro 2000.  This new product looks to be very similar to the Pro 2000 but there are some big differences between the both of them.  The top and pockets are made of heavy-duty rip stop material and heavy duty Tarpaulin bottom to reduce resistance in the water and protect against punctures and wear. All critical seams are double stitched. Foam seat and adjustable backrest sits you above the water for less drag and warmer days of fishing. Storage features include two large and two small pockets, front rod holder straps, two dry fly patches and cargo area behind seat. Custom Boston Valves and bladder-to-cover attachment points make filling and deflating your Premier Plus easy. Also includes florescent safety accents behind the seat, stabilizer bar and stripping apron and D-Rings for shoulder straps. The maximum weight capacity on this float tube is 325 lbs.  This is a weight increase of almost 100 lbs from the Pro 2000.

The seat or back rest appears to have been made a little taller which is a great improvement over the Pro 2000.  I would also like to point out that the two pontoons are now attached unlike the Pro 2000 create better stability in the water.  I had a Pro 2000 and I will say it is a good way to get in to a stadium seated type float tube.  There was a lot lacking in the Pro 2000 and it looks as if they have addressed some of these issue.  The tube sells for $200 which again is not a bad price for a decent entry level float tube of this quality.  I have not heard any reviews on this float tube as of yet.  If looks are any indication it should have some pretty good reviews.  

Smartbait "Color Changes Everything"

      The company named Smartbaits came o us at the Float Tube Fishing Forum and asked if we could advertise for them and help spread the word.  These baits come in a variety of different types, from soft plastics to hard plastics, all of which change color in the water.  The way this works is through temperature, as the temperature of the water changes so does the color of the bait.     Here are a picture demonstrating the color change the lures go through.

      On their website there is a lot of examples of the color change, as of course the best way to see how this works is to try the for your self.

Float Tube and Fishing Seminar

The Float Tube Fishing Forum, will be hosting a Fishing and Float Tube Fishing Seminar.  We are going to be taking the general public out on a local park lake for an opportunity to try out float tubing.  We should have fly fishing demonstrations, knot tying classes, learn how to choose the right fishing pole for the right situations.  This event will be open to the general public and be all about education.  It should be a lot of fun as well as a wealth of information, it is all in the planning stage right now but is looking really good.

Today I was out at the lake just getting a feel for the water, as well a look for the best spots to launch.  We took some time and kick the whole lake, it is shallow but it will be a great place to try float tubing for the first time.  Here are some shots of our trip on the water, if you are a local you will know which lake it will be by seeing these picture.  Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
