Outcast Fat Cat-LCS Float Tube
Outcast Fat Cat-LCS is Outcast’s U-shaped float tube for stillwater fishing. Its open-fronted form gives the angler clear space to work the fins and makes it easier to turn or adjust position while covering lakes, ponds and reservoirs. A foam seat and foam backrest provide a high riding position, which can keep more of the angler above the surface, improve the view across the water and create a more useful casting posture. Foam needs no inflation and offers consistent support throughout the session, although it takes up more packed space than an inflatable seat.
The adjustable stripping apron provides a working area for managing loose fly line in front of the angler. It helps keep coils away from the water and fins during repeated casts, retrieves and changes of direction. Tackle carried aboard should be secured and arranged so that frequently used items can be reached without excessive leaning or upsetting the balance of the tube; the documentation for this version does not establish a pocket count or layout.
When comparing this generation with other Outcast float tubes, its relevant identifiers are the foam seat and backrest, urethane AIREcell and sewn outer construction. The urethane AIREcell should not be confused with a vinyl AIREcell, while the weight of the empty float tube is separate from the maximum load it is designed to carry. Inflated dimensions and the packed bulk of the seating system are also more useful comparison points than a broadly similar hull outline. Before launching, wear an appropriate buoyancy aid, inspect the tube and valve, inflate the air chambers correctly and remain within the stated load limit. Use the float tube only in conditions permitted by the manufacturer.
