GoPlus Inflatable Fishing Float Tube Review Part 2: On the Water 

I have been using various float tubes for close to 20 years now. You certainly touched on some aspects that I had not even considered in all that time (when you gotta go, you gotta go lol). Anyways, just thought that I would add a few things: 1) Use a PFD (lifejacket)! Important! 2) Using chest waders to stay dry helps keep a person warm (important in colder weather), but adds another element to the situation of having to urinate... just saying... 3) Investing in high quality flippers makes for an easier kick around the lake; using a "kicker keeper" strap that attaches the flipper to one's leg helps prevent the loss of your main propulsion device at the worst possible time. 4) You talk about getting in and out of the float tube, and that this proved challenging. Backing up into the water while wearing flippers makes life easier. Hold your fishing pole in one hand, and keep the other hand on the float tube so that it does not float away. As an "young at heart older person" I have not had any trouble getting in or out of the water this way with my gear. I enjoyed your videos on this product! I found this on Amazon, and was wondering about the quality and other details that you covered. Thank you for that. If ever you are up north of the border and want to hike into some backwoods lake in the central part of Canada with your float tube on your back, and the rest of your gear in your hands, let me know!

Great videos. Thank you Robert. For the use that I expect, your videos helped me a lot.

I just got a float tube myself and I'm looking forward to it opening up new fishing grounds. Thanks for the helpful info and tips.

Thanks for the review. Exactly what I was looking for.

I bought two cheap ping pong paddles, drilled holes in the handles and tied @ 3 to 4 feet of paracord to them. I can hang them around my neck and they work well as paddles. I can also store them behind me with the cord still around my neck.

Thanks for your vids...Im getting my float this weekend. Waders are on the way as some ponds i plan on hitting are full of leaches. Thankful for your one viewer that mentioned kick savers...that will be on my to buy list.

That setup seems a bit overpowered for the trout magnet, doesn't it? 65 lb braid can reel you in a pig

The floating live wells may work good for this. I think I’m sold on this float. Good review. Thumbs up just for the peeing explanation 😂

Great review! I currently fish from a kayak, seriously considering one of these for hands-free mobility and maneuvering and holding position against a breeze. For a stringer, I use a plastic mesh onion bag. Not incredibly durable, but the price is right!

I feel like an anchor (they make bag type ones that don’t weigh anything packed cuz you use water to weigh the bag) and a bug mesh suit or head peace if your in a area with a lot of mosquitoes. Where I live , this would be asking to get absolutely swarmed with no escape from mosquitos

Nice stuff budy

Was curious what you got for the price. Good job on the video 👍

good review!

did the back rest adjust for u once you were in the water?

Just bought it thank you!

Hey! I have one myself, I'm in Canada Saskatchewan and we use chest waders when water is cold, most of out lakes are pretty chilly, also keeps us dry!!! You should try them out! Then you need boot fins, I havent gotten out yet Cruz iv been sick, but when u mentioned the oar because I did the same thing, I bought a telescope oar. Good luck and I really recommend them, also the keep the leeches off lol! My tube goes all the way around the back so it's nice to lean back and not have something half way down my back, I couldn't do that because my back would be killing me! Fish on!!! Enjoy!!!

Seems pretty thorough to me.

Is that the kit that comes with everything for under 200$

Is it easier to move against wind with a paddle? In that float? That specific float coma with a paddle now.

Thought about a small trolling motor? I just ordered the float, mabey with a mod or 2 and a lithium battery.......

I just bought that same exact float tube, I went out last weekend and it was a disaster. I didn’t have a good set of flippers and I had to work extra hard to get anywhere. Any advice?

Subbed

Again, thank goodness that RU-vid has a scroll bar 😁

Fins really make a big difference I dont use those types of fins I recommend body boarder fins there the best you can get for maneuvering and speed ive used them in the ocean with real currents for years they work even better in lakes

As for a rod holder, find a plastic holder that you can velcro to your tube!!!

What's the top speed on that bad boy? That's a big wake.

can you lean forward in this thing??? Is it wobbly..at all?

what if you dont know how to swim??? what should i do before??

Great workout. Damn. Gonna burn calories.

"coastline"? "swell"? It look like you're on a lake, not the ocean...

why you needed to explaining how to urinate while floating wasn't really needed.. Pretty much self explanatory. lol
