GYMAX

GYMAX Inflatable Fishing Float Tube Belly Boat

The GYMAX is a PVC float tube with a 600D polyester cover, built for fishing from a seated position on still water. It measures 53 inches long and 43 inches wide and carries up to 350 lb. The listing also names aluminum, PP and EVA parts, though it doesn't say which parts those are. It suits an angler who wants a roomy tube with a high load rating.

Best for: A larger angler or one carrying a lot of gear who wants a 350 lb rating and a wider tube.

Pros

  • Max load is 350 lb, higher than the Caddis Pro 3000 at 300 lb
  • At 43 in wide, it is wider than the Goplus (41.5 in) and the Caddis (42 in)
  • 600D polyester fabric, the same denier as the Goplus
  • Listed parts include aluminum and EVA alongside the PVC and polyester
  • At 53 in long, it is shorter than the Goplus, which may suit tighter spaces

Cons

  • No weight is listed, so carrying it is an unknown
  • The Goplus is longer (59 in) and lists the same 350 lb load
  • No floor type is listed, while the Caddis Pro 3000 lists a drop-stitch floor
  • No owner feedback was provided, so durability and comfort are unconfirmed
  • The listing doesn't say which parts are aluminum, PP or EVA

Who should skip it

Skip it if weight or packed size matters, since no weight is listed for this tube. The Caddis Pro 3000 lists 10.3 lb and a drop-stitch floor, so look there if you hike in to your water.

Verdict

On paper the GYMAX is a wide tube with a strong 350 lb rating and a sturdy 600D cover. The gaps are weight and floor type, so check those before you buy. If you need to walk far with it, the Caddis Pro 3000 looks lighter on its listed specs.
