Review on ๐ŸŽฃ Enhanced Classic Accessories Togiak Inflatable Fishing Float Tube With Convenient Backpack Straps by Joseph Hall

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Was very disappointed with it

Was very happy to get this float tube, had eyeballs for a long time. Was very disappointed in him. I read the reviews and thought people might be too picky to know I agree with most. Fill valves are terrible at best. When I checked them I thought it was the same valves as my inflatable kayak which work fine and the kayak pump has an adapter which works fine. To my surprise, the float tube inflation valves look the same as the kayak valves, but they are a different size and the pump adapter doesn't fit properly but can have trouble getting it to work. I have no idea how long it will take to blow your mouth. Trying to let air out is even worse. It takes forever, finally I gave up and half stuffed it in the back of my truck. I love that it has two separate bladders, seems safer if one leaks you still have one. On my pipe they must have installed the fill valve a little wrong and it doesn't fit properly through the hole in the bag to fill it and twice the fill valve came loose and leaked while fishing in the lake. It's very uncomfortable when your float tube slides down on you in the lake. I can only guess as the valve is wedged against the bag from the wrong installation position, if I put my hands on the bag while fishing it must somehow release the valve. Happened twice. If you try to turn the valve to really tighten the valve, it will jump over the threads and become even less airtight. I've used my float tube for about 10 days and have found that the seat view seems accurate as well. Two rods (one on each side of the seatback) were built into the seatback for support, which after a few hours began to rub heavily on the back. I'm a fairly small guy and not heavy. still hurts I tried adjusting the seat in different positions and found the bars were rubbing against my back after two or three hours. I also found that unless I rotated the seat forward almost as far as possible, the snorkel felt like it was dipping its nose in the water, which was also very uncomfortable. I found that the slots holding the bars are open at the bottom of the seat and you can remove the bars, which I did. Then the seat has no support and won't even hold you. I'm a backpacker so I bought 1/8" x 3/4" aluminum poles from the hardware store and put them in place of the poles. The seat is now comfortable. I've also found that you can use a 3/8 inch automotive fuel hose and attach the fill valves. Then you can use the adapter from the pump to fill the cylinders. I really like the color and I really like the bags. The pockets are amazing. .

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Very expensive
