Float Tube comparison: Cumberland vs Super Fat Cat vs Fish Cat 4
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- We pumped up our brand new Fish Cat 4 and the Super Fat Cat float tubes from Outcast, and also the Cumberland float tube from Classic Accessories. We thought you might all like to see these tubes in a bit of a belly boat comparison.
We actually looked around on the web in the recent past to see if anyone had any comparison information on these very popular float tubes, but there was really not much or anything; so we did this video to help all of you out who might be trying to decide which float tube is best. One major piece of information that was missing on this video but we'll state here, is that the Cumberland tube retails for about half the money - around $200 or so versus the Outcast tubes, which typically retail for about double this. With that said, we hope this video helps you all make an informed purchasing decision, and we'll try to add more intel in the way of float tube comparisons in the future :) Make sure you subscribe to this our channel so you don't miss these future videos!
Now if you want to put a fish finder on any of these excellent float tubes, we have wonderful fish finder mounts designed specifically for float tubes that will enable you to do just that, and do that easily. Please take a moment to visit our website at www.fishfindermounts.com to see how; and even call us at 1-855-784-3474 to get your fish finder on your tube today!
Thanks for watching everyone :)

Thanks for another fine video, Wade. Nice review of the differences between the three tubes. Before I forget to mention it, I also really appreciated the other vid you made on the non-powered mounting system for the Cumberland. Just the other day I was wondering what do with 2.9ah batteries since I've pretty much been just using 5ah ones. For hiking in (where minimizing the weight load is always a bonus), being able to slip the lighter 2.9ah battery and the finder in a backpack is a great solution. Hope all's well and love that location by the lake! Don
Thank you Don. Yes, for guys that want to go lighter, that's where the 2.9ah kit comes in - especially for the belly boater. Good to hear from you my friend. All is well here :)
Great video! I have the Cumberland, have used it for 2 seasons and REALLY like it. The seat is high enough that it only occasionally gets wet and its comfortable for hours. I agree with you 100% on the velcro straps for the stripping apron. My fly line seems to catch on the straps and the zipper handles of the storage bins.
Thank you for your comments Gary :)
Great video and keep the videos coming!!
Hi Ted, thank you. There will be more very soon :)
Whoaw nice weather in the Vancouver area in januari Wade :-) Still love my fish finder mount, awesome product.
Lol! No that was July, earlier this year. I'd actually lost this footage, and just recently found it the other day. Glad to hear the mounting system is still going strong for you David; and very nice to hear from you - and we wish you a fantastic 2018 with tight lines always :)
thank you for doing this video.
You're very welcome - and thank you for your thank you :) Glad to help!
Love my super fatcat 12 pounds of awesome and lovin my fish finder mount I got from you guys clean setup
Thank you Jay! Glad you're loving it :)
I'm kinda tossed up. I have never got a float tube before and wanted to get one to fish some small lakes. I can get the Cumberland and fish cat 4 for almost the same price. I want a tube that will last. I would love to hear your opinion on which you prefer and is more durable and such.
Which would you recommend for floating a river recreationally? I am a big guy and floating a river in a regular tube was hell
Great review, thanks. Does you “butt” stay dry in any of these tubes, or do they all float low in the water?
No, with a full inflation my butt pretty much stays dry in the Cumberland and the Superfat Cat. I haven't actually used the Fish Cat 4, so I am not certain if this is the case with that tube.
Im looking at buying a float tube, something I cant put a trolling motor and fish finder, any recommendations?
I'm not sure a trolling motor on a float tube would be that practical; but in terms of float tubes I like, it would be the cumberland on the more budget conscious side, and the super fat cat from outcast for the higher end side. You might like at the personal pontoon type watercraft for a trolling motor. Also Dave Scadden has some frameless pontoon models that may do it for you.
