Grab the crew, jump on the oars, and have a blast on the NRS Slipstream 129.
The ultimate fly fishing raft for you and your buddies! The NRS Slipstream 129 is a purpose-built fly fishing raft perfect for bigger rivers, lakes, overnight drifting trips, and accessing water otherwise un-fishable from the bank. Centred around an ultra-durable, 12'9" PVC raft and a custom fishing frame, the Slipstream 129 is ready to row straight out of the box.
The included rowers package sets you up with oars, blades, a tornado anchor, a pulley system, and more, allowing you to hit the water right away. The Slipstream package is ideal for running down the Tumut River, Swampy Plains, Goulburn, Mitta-Mitta, Murrumbidgee, Murray River—the list goes on—targeting trout, bass, Murray and Trout Cod, and so much more. With space for three (including a rower), the NRS Slipstream package is the ultimate river weapon for inland tailwaters to coastal rivers.
