Thread: Wanted - "Round" float tube and a 5, 6 or 7 wt Sage VXP rod

    Default Wanted - "Round" float tube and a 5, 6 or 7 wt Sage VXP rod

    Hi Folks,

    Does anyone have a round caddis float tube (or equivalent) that is sitting around collecting dust that would like to part with it? If you are a float tuber like me you may have started with something like that and then upgraded to a supercat, fat cat or pontoon boat. That is what I did and I now enjoy my supercat and the added versatility it provides me.

    I do however still have situations where I would like to be able to carry my “floattube“ some distance to launch and really miss that old round float tube for that purpose. When I did upgrade my old round tube had been used to death was ready for the dump. Let me know if you have one not being used and what you would like for it.

    The other thing I would love to find is a 4 piece Sage VXP 9 or 9’6 in a 5, 6 or 7 wt. I have a 9’6', 6 wt that is my favorite trout rod and also does well on half pounders, spring and fall run steelhead but since Sage no longer makes the VXP I cannot get another.
    Let me know if you have either one of these items you would be willing to part with. I live in the Sacramento area. Drop me a pm, or e-mail at bluegrassbillward@gmail.com thanks!

    Actually some of the Caddis U-shaped tubes would probably be a great option for me as well so if you have one of those you would like to get rid of that would work well also.

    I have a round Cadis tube out in the garage. I'll pull it out and see what kind of shape its in. You can check it out and maybe trade some flies or something for it if it looks good.

    I also have a Caddis round tube in the garage that I'd be willing to sell. I think it is in great condition (I need to check to see if the backrest cushion holds air, I can't remember).

    Hi Bill. I have a Caddis float tube (green and tan) with a new truck tube inside. Everything in great shape except no backrest cushion. I'm sure you can get any type of inflatable cushion to work. Yours if you want it. I'm in Livergulch and can meet you half way if you want.
