Slipstream 129 Fishing Raft
Why We Like The NRS Slipstream 129 Fishing Raft
Ready to fish, the Slipstream 129 Fishing Raft pairs an NRS rubber raft with a purpose-built fishing frame for floating rivers that are hopefully teeming with fish. A new size for 2024, this 12-foot nine-inch raft fits up to three anglers and gear with elevated fishing seats and integrated thigh hooks at the bow and stern and a rower's seat in the middle with easy access to the Slipstream's internal anchor system. The Slipstream 129 is engineered for whitewater with PVC tubes, top and bottom wear patches, and a drop-stitch floor protecting the raft in all directions while the diminished tubes and rocker help us punch through wind and waves when we hit rapids. This package has all we need to snag a fishing buddy or two and run everything from relaxed rivers to whitewater with our fly rods in hand.
The raft package includes the Slipstream 12’9” Raft plus the NRS frame and fittings, padded rower's seat, NRS 8-inch oar mounts, front and rear angler seats, front and rear thigh hooks, an internal anchor system with 3/8in anchor line, anchor lock, dual rod holders, 4 tie-down straps, and a Super 2 HP pump.

Dope boat!
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- 129
A nimble fish n river machine, loving the boat thus far. Setup took a minute, but not overly difficult. Be sure to loctite the screws on the rod holder.. NRS customer service was great and promptly sent me some replacements after 2 screws vibrated loose driving dirt roads.
