Float Tubes

Float tubes and accessories for predator fishing

Choose your float tube by looking at stability, carrying capacity, seating comfort, storage and the way you fish. Compact float tubes are useful for easy transport and short sessions, V-shaped models glide better, while side bags, rod holders, fins, pumps and compatible accessories help organise the setup on the water.

This category includes float tubes for reaching spots that are difficult from the bank, plus accessories used to equip or complete a fishing setup: side bags, rod holders, echo sounder supports, fins, pumps, drogues, anchors, transport items and parts compatible with certain models.

How to choose a float tube

The first point is stability. A good float tube must let you kick, cast, work a lure and fight a fish without losing control. The hull shape, seat height, weight distribution and material quality directly affect comfort and safety.

• Compact float tube: good for starting out, easy transport and limited storage space.
• V-shaped float tube: better glide, improved manoeuvrability and easier movement with fins.
• High or comfortable seat: better fishing position, less fatigue and improved visibility.
• Side bags: storage for lure boxes, tools, leaders and useful accessories.
• Coherent load capacity: check it against angler weight, tackle volume and fishing conditions.

Accessories for float tube fishing

A float tube should not be chosen on its own. Fins, waders, bags, rod holders, landing nets, pumps, transport bags and safety items affect real comfort on the water. A well-organised setup keeps tackle accessible without blocking the casting area.

Rod holders help when alternating several outfits for soft lures, jerkbaits, swimbaits, spinnerbaits or finesse fishing. Removable or large-capacity bags make lure boxes easier to organise and reduce unnecessary handling during a drift.

Which float tube for your fishing?

For pike fishing, prioritise stability, storage and enough room for bigger lures, a landing net or a measuring mat. For perch, zander or lighter fishing, manoeuvrability and accurate positioning become more important. On large waters, long drifts or exposed conditions, pay extra attention to visibility, safety, material strength, carrying comfort and the ability to stay positioned.

Safety points

Float tube fishing requires attention to wind, water temperature, current, distance from the bank and the equipment worn. Before each session, check inflation, valves, chambers, straps, bags and accessories fixed to the float tube. Poorly balanced or poorly attached gear can reduce control during a drift or a fight.
