i have 200$ to spend i am 90 lbs and 4 foot 11 inches. I want to know what i should get-- this float tube
I have used a float tube for several years and regularly fish with a friend who has a pontoon, if you have the money, go for the pontoon. I love my float tube and it does the job, but I bought it because I'm too cheap to get the pontoon. The pontoon, keeps more of you out of the water (great here in northern regions to stay warmer longer), comfortably carry more gear, and are more manuverable, overall a better choice
Rubber/plastic/canvas tubes are flexible. They can be deflated. Pontoons are usually made of rigid materials. Either will do. I suggest you check the area in which you want to fish and see what are being used. Bottom., current, wind are all factors to influence performance of such craft.
