Franky Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hi, I'm finding that my Cat 4 float tube is too heavy for the long hikes into mountain lakes. Since I can't really eliminate the other basic gear. waders, rod, etc. I thought maybe there is a light weight float tube option. I have googled it, but the only alternative I see is a very expensive tube made in the U.S. Anyone know of other options? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinn Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Fish Cat released a newer light weight model. The fishin hole has them in stock online actually. https://thefishinhole.com/index.cfm?action=product&kw=/OUTCAST/FISH-CAT-RISE-NAVY/&se=33881 Hope this helps!

Nachako Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Check this photo. I use an old 45 Lt north face pack. I have been using this set up for decades and is good if the trail is wide enough for up to 5 km in then I find the trails start to get thin. . No fish cat though ( I found them to heavy ) I have a Cumberland , Togiak & JW Stillwater The Tagiak being the best I clip it to my pack. None have ever been deflated.
