Float tube

Modern designs include a V-shape with pontoons on either side and the seat raised above the water allowing the legs of the angler to be the only part of the body to be submerged.

[1] A standard float tube consists of an inflated bladder inside a sewn cover providing the seat, reserve air compartments, and tackle storage pockets.

Many float tube anglers customize their crafts with rod holders, lights, and electronic fish finders.

The angler generally wears stocking foot chest waders and scuba diving flippers, so the legs remain dry.

Seated in the float tube, the angler paddles across the water with a gentle movement of the flippers then remains still over the chosen fishing ground.
