I do a pile of tying on tubes and continual run into this issue. Metal monster cones, metal sonic discs, pro cones, etc - when finishing the fly with these specific types of cones, constantly run into cones loosening or shearing off small scandi tube melted lip. Standard coneheads, soft/plastic cones do not cause this. Looking of opinions on maintaining the cone on the end of the tube. I have tried superglue, goop, head cement, etc. Epoxy is too hard (and even 5 min takes too long to cure - tubes don't fit well on a curing wheel!?). UV cured glues/ resins have same inflexibility problem once cured. Thoughts?

Hi Folks, Been reading the forum for a couple weeks now, great resource for a BCer now living in AB. I'm in the market for another float tube. I've used a Caddis truck tire round tube for years in BC and really don't mind any of the cons (sitting lower in the water). I tried an Outcast Fish Cat 4 one time and found that the wind blew me around way too much. The U-tubes seem to be all the rage these days. Anyone else find these high sitting Fish Cats or others get blown around in the wind too much or was I just having a bad day? I'd rather not use an anchor. Any other suggestions for "modern" float tubes, round or u-tube, that don't get blown around in the wind? I see Wholesale Sports still sells a round tube Caddis I might go for. Thanks, Chris
