It's a double edged sword with the rubber boats...to get a raft to track well, it needs a big footprint, which makes it drag like crazy...'toons drag very little, but are very squirrelly so far as keeping them straight enough to pull plugs.

Either way, you work a lot harder...it's a hella effort to keep a big toon straight pulling plugs in moderate or faster water, it's a hella effort to keep a raft from moving downstream too fast in moderate or fast water...

If I had to pull plugs, and had to use a rubber boat, I'd go with a raft...rowing harder to slow the boat is easier than rowing harder to keep the boat straight, in my opinion.

Fish on...
