Product Details
An ultra-lightweight watercraft that redefines accessibility, the Approach 138 gives up to three anglers the opportunity to stalk fish others can’t. Whether you’re hiking into a wilderness river or hopping the guardrails into roadside streams, the Approach 138 is as easy to transport as it is to float skinny waters.
- Ultra-lightweight design for easy transport. The Approach 138—the largest of the Approach Rafts—can fit securely in most standard truck beds.
- Purpose-built for stealth, the Approach raft series combines smaller tubes with a thick drop-stitch floor insert to enhance buoyancy, letting it draft in really skinny water.
- 6" drop-stitch floor with a slip-resistant foam pad provides superior traction and grip when wet, reduces weight by eliminating casting platforms and protects the floor from grit and basic wear and tear.
- Whitewater-engineered for ultimate durability with welded seam tube construction and rugged PVC materials plus bottom and top wear patches.
- Adjustable Slot Rail engineering creates a modular frame that easily adjusts to keep anglers comfortable and the boat balanced for superior rowing performance.
- Integrated rod holders protect and store up to four fully-rigged 9'6" fly rods, letting anglers adapt as conditions change.
- Approach Dry Box seat platform(s) provide convenient external trays and internal waterproof storage compartments, keeping gear dry, organized, and eliminating tripping hazards.
- Padded Rower Seat and Angler Folding seats can attach to the Approach Dry Boxes.
- Molded Thigh Hooks in the bow and stern provide additional support for front and back anglers and feature cup holders and a storage tray.
- Internal anchor system easily controlled from the rower's seat keeps anchor line away from anglers and gear. Includes 3/8" anchor line.
- Rower’s Package (sold separately) includes a 2:1 assist pulley, making retrieving anchors an effortless task, plus a 30 lb. Tornado anchor.
- Features high-quality Leafield™ C7 Inflation valves and six self-fabric handles.
