NRS Raft Review! | Aire Tributary 13ft | Guide Series Gear Review

[@darrenyoos8338]

I’m interested in how you rigged the rope system on the front of the Raft. Any chance you can offer some input on how you did that?

[@ИгорьЗаморока]

Tell me please. Where can I buy a stand for rowlocks, with a pipe mount?

[@swordfish54]

How much weight does a cross bar hold? I’m a big guy and just realized there’s only one bar holding the seat.

[@MichaelJones-ve7zq]

Nice setup... my only concern is the height of the forward seat... have you experienced any balance issues going down the river...

[@Southernappalachiananglers]

Michael Jones not at all! It’s been perfectly balanced and very sturdy - hasn’t budged in 3 years. NRS makes some strong connection braces.

[@MichaelJones-ve7zq]

How’s the balance with a passenger in that seat while going down the river?

[@Southernappalachiananglers]

Michael Jones very similar to a drift boat passenger. It’s very stable and keeps all the weight in the center.

[@carolinahunter3306]

Great question, I was wondering the same thing.

[@quentinjackson3778]

I'm looking for a personal raft ..do you have any ideas for me

[@adventureanglingpnw1821]

Where exactly can I purchase one of these boats? I need it to fish for salmon and steelhead on the coastal rivers of Oregon.

[@Nwvibes42]

What length oars do you like running with this set up?

[@Southernappalachiananglers]

9ft is perfect

[@Nwvibes42]

How long are you side rails for that specific frame?

[@Southernappalachiananglers]

4 feet

[@nightvarmint]

What anchor and anchor weight do you find works best?

[@Southernappalachiananglers]

For this boat we put a 30lb anchor on it. Stops the boat very fast in high water. Thanks for the question!

[@thewanderingmeadows1627]

You have a link for that frame?

[@poop7217]

Hey what is the red and white rope used for? Trailering?

[@Southernappalachiananglers]

That is the anchor rope.

[@poop7217]

Southern Appalachian Anglers LLC - Asheville Fly Fishing Guide Service Hey thank you for the response but I was referring to the line that is up on the front, that is attached on either side of the frame and looks like it wraps twice around the bow with a big loop hanging forward

[@Southernappalachiananglers]

Ah! Yes that is for the winch and added security while trailering. Good question!

[@poop7217]

Southern Appalachian Anglers LLC - Asheville Fly Fishing Guide Service Great thanks! Brilliant idea, involving the tube and the frame in the winch and not just the d ring

[@Southernappalachiananglers]

poop7217 absolutely. No way for the D-Ring to tear out that way. And easier to winch up!

[@Nwvibes42]

What rod holder brand and model do have on this frame

[@Southernappalachiananglers]

Rod Saver

[@DEZLax14]

What's the rod saver specifically?

[@DEZLax14]

or can you email/message me photos of what you used/how you rigged it?

[@Southernappalachiananglers]

rodsaver.com

[@Southernappalachiananglers]

Rod Saver is the brand - it has three straps and Velcro holder. Tie down with tie down straps. rodsaver.com

[@traviskroll417]

Can you pull plugs in a raft

[@Southernappalachiananglers]

Travis Kroll you can deflate by pushing the plug in. Or you can inflate by using a pump. Hope that answers your question! If not let us know or contact NRS!

[@modmousefan234]

Who makes the rod holder you are using?

[@Southernappalachiananglers]

Travis Biedermann not sure of manufacturer. It is purchased at Walmart though.
