In the early days, fishing float tubes were merely large inner tubes with two leg holes to hang and suspend in. Nowadays, the fishing float tubes are v-shaped for better movement and handling, they have nice seats with seatbacks, zippered storage, rod and cup holders, measuring ruler lap table, etc. Some come with paddle, fins, and air pump. You can spend as little or as much as you'd like. I have never fished from one but they seem very nice.
There a many walk-in places along the coast where these float tubes could expand the range and opportunities. I've always wondered why float tubes are not widely used by saltwater wade fisherman.
Why are modern float tubes not used more often by saltwater wade fishermen? Is hanging and dangling the legs and feet worrisome? Is the tidal current worrisome? What other worries or reasons contribute to the lack of use in saltwater?
