I am along with the same sentiments as TubeDude. I fish the big salty in my tube and all I get is fish with spinyfinitis and sharp gill plates.
A floatation device like that would only fit the Trout angler that has the pleasure of launching or landing in soft sand.
I can see where the elite fly fishing person may benefit from this on a back pack trip in the mountains and wishes to minimize on weight and bulk for the haul but for all practical purposes, the audience would be limited to the aforementioned.
On a normal day in the big salty, I may hook into different species of Rock Fish, Sting Rays, Bat Rays or even fish that just love to tug the line for what it is worth. At any rate, when those fish come up and are willing to go toe to toe or toe to fin, the wafer thin floatation device usually loses out. [shocked][pirate]
