   tubes are totally up to preference the open front allows you to more easily see the water right in front of you but leaning backward is mandatory for both. the open front allows you (I think) to relax your neck and that keeps me in the water longer. I fish docks and jetty’s and like looking straight down into the water I am facing. Especialy when I get a toothy halibut on and its chomping on my leadhead when I have to get the hook out if he bit the tube I would shoot around backwards all over the waters surface until either all the air leaked out or I sank. Other than those reasons, a tube, is a tube, is a tube.

   first off, they aren’t just for fly fishing, bass fisherman use them more.
   the open front can be dangerous in that you may lean too far forward which could lead to a “face plant” in the water causing the tube and your accessories to land on you- not good. this happens quite often.

   closed tubes are a more stable platform. the only hassle is getting in and out. they also can hold more gear.
   one more thing, spend the money on good fins- they’ll make a big difference. tight lines!
