I'm sure you're right but I'm planning on using mine just to insure my stability getting into and out of my pontoon boat. I'm unable to wade the rivers anymore so the pontoon is the next best thing. Most of my fishing time these days is going to be in stillwaters. I will surely miss the rivers though.
