NRS Slipstream Fishing Raft

Yes, the 4-inch drop-stitch floor creates a rigid, flat platform that is stable enough for standing and casting without needing additional platforms. The included EVA foam pad adds extra grip and protects the floor from hooks and studded boots.

The modular frame is designed to break down compactly, making it much easier to transport than a rigid, welded frame. You can adjust the cross-members to customize the fit for both the rower and the front angler, though it does require assembly upon arrival at the water.

Yes, it features an internally routed anchor system that is controlled directly from the rower's seat. This allows you to manage your position in moving water without needing to reach over the side or fumble with external lines.

The raft is built with rugged PVC construction and includes an additional layer of PVC as a frame wear patch. It is designed specifically to handle the abrasion of rocky riverbeds and frequent use in technical water.

While the Slipstream is purpose-built for fishing with a streamlined design to reduce catch points, its 17-inch tubes and 24-inch bow and stern kicks make it capable of handling technical rapids. However, its primary design priority is casting stability and precise positioning in moving water.

The complete setup weighs 145 pounds. While this is manageable for two people to carry to the water's edge, you will want a trailer or a truck bed for transport rather than a roof rack.
