A good honest description for us anglers, thank you for that…. Not saying it won’t suit lots of people but hard work by the sounds of it..

Great honest video, well filmed Douglas. Looked compact when you were lifting it off the back seat of the car. I think for fly fishing a loch where you get a nice long drift it would be ideal. I saw some guys (older than me can you believe) using one when I was on Orkney. I'm sure you'll get many hours of fun and fish using it.

One of my brothers as that same model, he took it out one time and was knackered after a couple of hours, but then he is 58 and about 20 stone, I was surprised the thing didn't sink when he got himself into it after much huffing and puffing with a few swear words thrown in, but to give credit to the tube it is quite sturdy and held up well under his weight.

You have some amazing environments there in the background

Yes you’re right we bought two float tubes thinking it would be easy as we found out it was a nightmare after a days fishing I came off it and I could hardly walk so I think that there up in my brothers loft after that we bought a pontoon it’s called the sea eagle it’s American and it’s fabulous you sit out of the water it has a great seat plus it has oars and you can have a electric motor on the back we use it when we fish up north and love it so if any of you guys are thinking about buying a float tube unless you have real strong legs and I mean strong forget it and save up for a sea eagle.

Hi there just letting anyone else that use the float tube the easiest way to turn with a tube is to lean over like you were on a skateboard this inturn tilts your legs and flippers and yes with practice you can literally turn on a sixpence with practice

Hey man ive been looking at a little SIB and electric outboard. The outboards ive been looking at are by Torquedo and look decent. Need to go to a boat show really and check out a few different brands. Tight lines man!

Good timing! I bought a guideline drifter a few weeks back, with snowbee fins. The shorter fins are far less work than those ones you have, long fins = hard workout. Agreed on the turning using fins, takes a bit of practice!. I only fly fish though, and IMHO the oars would be a pita, different than lure fishing. I used it for the first time last week on a wee Ayrshire hill loch, it's bloody magic! I was on the water for over 6 hours, and I had to force myself off the water!. Back out on it tomorrow, canny wait. All the best Douglas. Greg.

looks like great product only thing say don't like the look of is my feet having to dangle in the water. Much prefer it if I could have my legs placed on the raft as well

Looks well suited for your styles of fishing mate it will make a good video to see you hook a monster in it.

Aren't you afraid of the pike nipping your wee toes, Douglas? 😂

It's interesting and educational for people who can afford that sort of big boys toy!! I'd prefer a canoe myself but I can't afford one of them so it's shore fishing only for myself, I'm all on the look out for either a second had Canon for 2 or a kayak but it's a bit difficult cuz I live on the island so their's a limited amount of people who would part with them for the price I could afford, I do always keep my eyes open cuz their's some excellent rock marks around castletown Bay where just being a hundred yards future than casting difference and instead of the Average fish being about 2lb and they average at 4lb but can and have gone to double figures all their's a couple of marks you can only fish with a kayak or canoe but they have produced some big cod and the occasional plaice n flounder "flatfish I've got a personal vendetta against cuz I personal have never landed one in 38 years or fishing I've come close had one nearly in my hand but it fell off the hook over the side of the pier and add insult to injury my m8 caught a 2lb plaice minutes b4 on a rod I'd rigged baited n casted, we didn't even see it bite and it online started fighting on the surface must have been half asleep!! Anyway good shoe to keep people in the know m8 , you should do a flatfish/beach casting video it would be interesting as it's how I often fish 🐟 😉

Once your in position can you anchor them like an ordinary boat ?

Interesting .. Do your feet get cold?

Don’t agree with much of this. I have 2 of these Savage Gear Tubes and they are great. Took all of an hour and half to get used to it. I fish for loch Salmon with mine, sometimes in 25Mph winds, and feel really safe. These are great. Only problem is they are heavy to carry, if you are walking more than 15 mins to a venue. Great for fitness, but there is a knack to it, helps if you are reasonably fit.

I can't be bothered with all this stuff. Just be done with it and by a flipping trawler mate. I'll get back to chucking my spinner off the bank. I'm at a loss becausevive followed you and done some stuff you talked of but got heehaw, an hour at a freaking docking place long abandoned and I saw more and caught more than I ever did copying you at the narrows. I doubt you had a nuke sub cause the water there was 10 inches deep all the way to arran
