What is the deepest water you guys have hunted in your layout blinds and neotubs. Thinking about getting a groudforce blind and neotub for our fields in arkansas. I refuse to sit in a blind while ducks land out in the middle of the field. But if the water is up in the field to about a foot,that is to much water for the neotube isn't it.

A foot of water might be a little to high. Try two wooden pallets submerged, with the tub and blind on top of them-that should fix your problem and put you right in the kill zone.

Good idea. My mind would have never thought of that.

I still use my Finisher and GF without a neo-tube, but you can hunt up to 8" of water with one. I can't wait to get mine in a few days!!! Good luck and thanks for choosing Avery/GHG!!!

I think you guys should make and inflatable neotub that floats... that would be unbeatble...

I have hunted lake shores in them up to 7"-8" deep. The 1' mark would be a stretch. Pallets make good sense and some folks are making small floating platforms for layouts out here. If you are able to hunt the Neo-Tub w/o the pallet, remember that your rear end will what is on the bottom in the deeper water. I have noticed that my legs tend to float a bit. I personally like it. Very comfortable and makes the long hunts easier.
