Roy Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Sit front to back. Or it could work if your knees bent the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 every time I swim with flippers on, they push me forward , it would be hard to swim in reverse lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works well for holding on a spot,but travel sucks,but it,s a work out.LOL Looks like another thing I will have to work on. Im sure I can fabricate something that will work.

misfish Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Flippers no trolling motor yes Yes. Trolling motor is on the back burner for now RB. Still fabricating for that ,but it,s coming along just fine so far. Need to try the platform out first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bacon Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Cabela's used to sell some called Kickapoo Kickers. It does not look like they are made anymore... perhaps there is a reason for that. I did see these. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fishmaster-style-paddle-pushers-tube-fishing-fins-kickers-/161075124953?pt=US_Taxidermy&hash=item2580d35ad9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musky or Specks Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I just always turn around and kick to where I need to go. I can't see moving forward in a tube being done efficiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
